The post title was particularly relating to the two unringed Long-tailed Tits which were caught this morning on different mist net rounds - most unexpected at this time of year. In a similar, but more routine vein were two unringed Blue Tits, unringed Robin and single figures of unringed Gold/Green/Chaffinches
Green Woodpecker - heard several times around the north end of the reserve
Moths
Bit of a 'purple patch' for this site, usually useless in February, with 2 x Chestnut (the first time ever more than one has been caught on a single night, I think!), a different Agonopterix heracliana and a single Dotted Border
