The temperature is set to get to around 4 C tonight and the wind is a cool westerly with a bit of north in it. Yesterday was really windy and felt cold. I didn't bother putting the moth trap out in such cold night temperatures and bird migration has slowed right down on the Peninsula.
Wednesday night was the last relatively mild evening with about 20 individual moths with the first Red Chestnut of the year. Stuck on 23 species of moth in the garden for the year.
A noc-mig session on 10th March was pretty lean with highlights including Oystercatcher, Teal, Coot and Redwings HERE.
With demoralising field conditions I've got on with work, bits in the garden, updating some databases, getting the latest Dutch Birding paper to advance draft stage, reading and doing a bit of music.
Very slow going and looking forward to the next wave of migration- Tuesday looks promising- just as I have to head back up to London.
