It's been a good spring passage of Med Gulls across the region in the past few weeks and there have been several flocks and small groups passing over the farmlands which I've managed to miss but finally caught up with a single migrating adult today (thanks to Roger alerting me). There was also a flock of 8 others and 30+ Black-headed Gulls moving today (seen by others).
The first Lesser Whitethroats arrived yesterday (also had one up at the Little Oak base on Little Woodcote) and today I heard one singing from the obs.
A bit more in the moth trap last night with the year's first migrant Silver Y's and an unseasonal Lychnis. Its shaping up as a good season for Muslin moths.
Adult Mediterranean Gull- high over the obs
Lychnis
Silver Y- good to see the first for year of this regular migrant to the farmlands
Muslin moths (and Lychnis)- getting a run of these at the moment at both the Beddington obs and the Old Vicarage
