Wednesday 19th July

Another glorious summer day. Al Kitching headed for The Oa in search of choughs, but missed out. He did see 3 WTE (2 pictured below) and a small flock of twite by the Monument, so it wasn't all bad.

Little to report apart from that. The RSPB ragwort team had a juvenile cuckoo near Smaull and I had this hoverfly, sericomyia silentis (I think!) up on the Moorland Trail at Gruinart. 


That's it. Cheerie!
