29th July

Another decent day with light easterly winds but extensive cloud cover, warm still though, somewhat predictably though thick fog rolled in by mid-afternoon, effectively ending the day; we still await any landbird migration but a slight turnover of birds through the day included 3 Herons, the 2 Garganey, now 5 Ruff on Gretchen, a Greenshank, 2 Green Sandpipers (Gretchen and Cauldhame), the Black Redstart still at Moe Geo and a new Song Thrush in Holland.   Having mentioned the moth trap yesterday it was somewhat inevitable that the record was broken again overnight with a massive 242 Dark Arches filling the trap.
