Same same same, cold first thing but soon developing into a beautiful, sunny, warm day (as long as you kept out of the very chilly N wind reminding you that spring hasn’t really arrived yet); single Firecrest and Blackcaps were caught while 2 Whimbrel flew north were the only new migrants with other birds comprising the singing Black Redstart still, a Chaffinch, 5 Goldfinches, a Sparrowhawk, a Swallow and 3 Wheatears.
A little walk round Loompit in the afternoon produced 2 Yellow Wagtails, 7+ Blackcaps, 25 Sand Martins, 10 Swallows and 3 House Martins with the 2cy Little Gull, female Goldeneye and singing Cetti’s Warblers still present.

House Sparrow
Mullein - Seen plenty of caterpillars over the years but I think this is the first actual moth I've seen, it was caught at the Obs on the 10th.
