Holme Bird Observatory

It had finally rained properly overnight, which made the moth trap rather soggy. However, the rain has helped our car park, which is now in better condition than before. Let’s hope it stays this way.

Today’s moths:

Our today’s bird highlights are: 1 Little Ringed Plover, 35 Redshank, 2 Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Greenshank and 22 Dunlin on Broadwater. Also 20 Whimbrel flew over and there was 1 Wheatear in the Dunes.
