Holme Bird Observatory
for as little as 14p per day.
6th April 2025

Chiffchaff – Seamus Griffin
A cold easterly and another quiet day for migrants with one House Martin over the Broadwater this morning, and a Swallow reported in the dunes.
The weather isn’t helping with the moths either, however there was an improvement in the moth traps today with 1 Early Grey, 2 Hebrew Character and 1 Dotted Chestnut. There was also a Peacock butterfly around in the afternoon.
