17th June

A rare windless day, with plenty of cloud. A male Nightjar in the gardens at Holland House was presumed to be the bird from the 14th-although we had similar thoughts about the Oriole until we trapped two, and with a few other new migrants around in recent days it could be new? The/a Golden Oriole was also present there all-day, along with the Reed Warbler. The only definite new arrivals were a Short-eared Owl and a Whitethroat at the Observatory.
