It was a lovely calm morning which got a bit breezier later on.

The bird highlights of today are: 12 Jay at 8am which were seen at 10:30 at Ringstead, 1 Kingfisher, 20 Bearded Tit, 163 Teal, 1 Water Rail, 19 Curlew flying over, 14 Common Buzzard of which 12 were circling together.

I really enjoyed the moths today especially the Kent Black Arches and Vestal.
