Observations: The long-staying barred warbler was still in the garden, but now it seems it's getting ready for departure: It had put on more than 4 grams since last week and increased it's fat score to 4. The adult male hen harrier was still around, as was a white-tailed eagle and a water rail. 5 grey wagtails and 3-4 european goldfinch also flew over.
Still a few moths around, the catch today contained 6 species and was dominated by Dark Sward-grass (top 3) and Angle Shades (lower 6).
