On the move southbound 68 Black-heads, 8 Oyk, 5 Sanderling, 5 Sand Martin, 3 Sandwich Tern, 2 Little Egret, Curlew, Whimbrel & Yellow Wag. An additional 8 Sanderling were on the beach & another dispersing juv Green Wood turned up this morning. A Nightingale is still loitering on site. Ethmia bipunctella (above) is a rare species that feeds on Viper's bugloss that turns up sporadically in the traps here. Apotomis lineana (below) is described as a "very local" species that we were not expecting to ever turn up here (assuming we have identified correctly).


11 birds ringed: 6 linnet, 3 greenfinch, 1 wren, 1 green woodpecker.
