Grounded Migrants
A Tree Sparrow was an unusual spring visitor early morning amongst small numbers of newly arrived Blue Tit, Blackbird and Chaffinch.
Diurnal Migration
Small numbers of Meadow Pipit and Pied Wagtail were logged.
Moths
Although operated nightly, there have been very few moths attracted to the moth traps so far during 2011 so a Grey Shoulder-knot was a surprise new addition to the island list.
Ringing
Recent news involves a Goldfinch controlled on the island on 17th October 2010 which had previously been ringed at Crosby Hall, Merseyside on 7th March 2010 (70km S).
