A close to average catch for CES#6 (mean 51) and at last we have some juvenile migrants.  The Robins continue to pile in and our first ever Magpie for the site.  Plenty of Ringlets and Marbled Whites enjoying the sun shining over the large grassy area and several attractive Goatsbeard plants in flower – already closing as we were packing up (hence Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon!).   More Pyramidal Orchids and a good show of Ox-eye Daisies.
We look (optimistically) for increasing numbers of juvenile Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs in the next session.
