It’s been quiet on the bird front since Saturday, with only a noisy Ring-necked Parakeet adding itself to the house list for the year on Saturday evening. It’s nice to see, but I hope it doesn’t linger. Moth trapping has been slow so far – we get very few moths at the start of the season – but Saturday’s haul included a second Brindled Beauty for the house and a first Dotted Chestnut. In the garden a small Grass Snake has taken up residence.

Meanwhile on Cissbury Ring, the ponies were posing.
