On site 5 Lesser Whitethroat, 4 Whitethroat, 3 Wheatear, Willow Warbler, Whimbrel & Yellow Wag. 34 Common Terns feeding offshore but very little moving with northbound 4 Little Tern, 2 Common Gull, 2 Common Tern & Whimbrel with southbound 7 Greylag, 2 Sandwich Tern & Gannet. Also noted heading north 10 Carrion Crow with 3 Swallow south plus 4 in off the sea.


Moth numbers and variety poor although Yellow Belle doesn't often sit still long enough to photograph. Landguard is a classic habitat for it.
