Only 3 moths in the trap Monday night and 2 last night, even if one was a Silver Y, mean that it will soon be time to put it away for the winter.
A call from DW had us heading to Dungeness in the hope that the Yellow-browed warbler which had been trapped and ringed would still be about. Unfortunately it wasn't seen again but another one was found in the light house garden so I drove round to see if I could see it. I arrived as it had flown into the research station gardens but it popped up on a wire before flying into the trees, over into the garden and then back to the lighthouse.
As we were trying to relocate it a call told us about a Red-breasted flycatcher in the trapping area so we returned to the obs and then headed out towards net site 14. The flycatcher was seen very briefly several times moving through the bushes but all I saw was a sun lit tail disappearing into the foliage.
