Luckily I kept the trap going and managed to trap my 7th record of Brick and the earliest I have trapped one by over 3 weeks. As usual Bob has done me proud.

Brick


Black Rustic

The pond was still there and that was about the highlight of a dull visit. Still 10 Yellow Wagtails among the 40+ Meadow Pipits along farborough bank, 2 Dunlin in toft bay and 15 House Martins still present over Thurlaston village.
Spent 2 hours on the country park hoping for a fly over but zilch, 5 Buzzard over bunkers hill wood and a couple of Jay for my efforts while only a single Chiffchaff bothered to show itself. 3 Migrant Hawkers and 2 Common Darter noted.
