Slim pickings in the trap this week. Good to catch both colour forms of Oak Rustic though. Heard both the Yellow-browed Warbler in the Farm Wood #Bockhill this morning & the Pallas's Warbler in Kingsdown this afternoon, but failed to see either.

Excellent day in the Dungeness area, topped off when Mum found this moulting/1stW drake Ring-necked Duck with the Tufted Duck & Pochard flock on the pit behind the Lydd Caravan Park. Digiscoping pics. Hopefully better to follow from @ploddingbirder.bsky.social et al. @jananddaveburt.bsky.social

Some days don't go right, do they? Pallas's W today only seen by 2 people. 1st YBW seen very briefly by 1 birder (standing next to me). Bins in car & heading for home, I said "There ought to be YBW in those trees" & 2nd YBW popped up - only seen by the birder next to me. Not all bad news, though -

Despite the cool temps a few migrants were in the new romney light traps last night including scarce bordered straw, several gamma, noctuella, ferrugalis & xylostella....and this smart golden twin-spot
