This Reed Bunting which we caught in the Magic Garden last
week was already carrying a ring...
John assumed it was one of his own but when he entered the
details it had actually been ringed at Silt Fen Farm in Norfolk, 230 kms away.
A good movement for this species. Perhaps one or two of Norfolk’s rarities can
make the same journey?!
Otherwise it has been a very quiet week for birds so
fortunately insects have stepped in to the breach. These included my first
damselflies of the year, a single Large Red on Wednesday and around 20 of these
Blue-tailed damselflies yesterday…
Three or four Common Carpet moths were in the Magic
Garden today…
Along with this Red-headed Cardinal Beetle…
and this striking hoverfly Heliophilus pendulus (also known as The
Footballer because of its stripy thorax)…
