Heysham Obs
Ringing
CES ringing visit number five completed this morning. One downside of running a CES project is the frightening speed at which the 12 periods pass. It's a little like counting the summer away and we are already now looking to visit six - half way through!
This morning's catch was typically small, normal for this site. The majority were recently fledged young of common species but did include single juveniles each of Lesser Whitethroat, Blackcap and Chiffchaff.
Moths
A reasonable catch of 26 species, including the first Blackneck of the year.
