Red Kite- been up to five birds over last three days. Possible to distinguish individual birds by distinctive moult features. On this bird some of the inner secondaries are missing.

Curlews. A few migrants this weekend including LRP, Redshank, Swallows, Sand Martin, House Martin today, Common Buzzard, Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs and also quite a few Lesser Black Backed Gulls (including 200+ on Friday)
Tawny Pinion- if I've identified this correctly it's a site first
Acleris notana- if I've identified this correctly it's also a site first. (Just heard back from Surrey moths group- has to go down as Acleris sp as it's a dissection job to separate it from A.ferrugana)

Clouded Drab, Common Quaker. Twin-spotted Quaker. Knot Grass and Nut-tree Tussock
