LANDGUARD - 17th September

 Largely sunny and bright with light SW winds (apart from a weird spell for an hour in the morning when thick fog appeared from nowhere!); there was a trickle of birds overhead but nothing really compared to yesterday which included a Chaffinch, a Sparrowhawk over the sea, 50 Meadow Pipits, 73 Swallows and 4 Yellow Wagtails.   

Offshore 34 Teal and 18 Wigeon went south while on the land 3 Chiffchaffs, 7 Wheatears and a Black Redstart was about it.   

A fine, pristine Convolvulus Hawkmoth was the highlight in the moth traps.
