A warm wind today and a slight breeze produced several new migrants in the form of 1 Hobby early morning, along with 43 Swallow, 6 Willow Warbler, 2 Common Whitethroat, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Blackcap, 1 Nightingale, 5 Goldfinch, 1 Yellow Wagtail, 19 Common Tern, 6 Little Tern, 1 Sandwich Tern, 4 Dunlin, 1 Grey Plover, 1 Curlew and 1 Bar-tailed Godwit.
The nationally scarce Aethes dilucidana has not been seen here since 2001 and does not appear to have been photographed very often in the UK, (above).
Continuing the ''Prominent'' theme of recent days, here is a Swallow Prominent!
