First foggy spell since the 1st January so watched garden most of morning. Very productive with 17 species actually in garden and 8 others seen flying over. Highlight was the male Bramling perched briefly late morning, a Goldfinch which I dont get very often, 2 Bullfinch, and pride of place went to the female Grey Wagtail which spent an hour wandering around garden even bathing in a water filled plant holder.
Out tonight with the wheelbarrow and genny moth trapping up the road in Cockrobin plantation. First field session of what I hope will be a productive year. Min temperature 5 deg and trapped from 1800-2100hrs managing 24 moths of five species so not a bad effort. Spring Usher 7, Chestnut 8, Pale brindled Beauty 6, Early Moth 2 and a Dotted Boarder.
