A variable wind this morning ranging from north northeast to east south east with plenty of drizzle and rain first thing.

Another morning with little in the bushes. Vis mig was pretty good with 4 Crossbills dropping into the Poplars out the back of the fort before flying north again. The bad weather also brought 22 Swift heading north and 2 Fulmars and 3 Sandwich Terns headed out of the river and over fort before heading Northwards.

On the sea 9 Barnacle Geese and a Grey Heron headed south and a Kittiwake headed north.



In the traps this morning was a rather fresh Eyed Hawk-moth, a species which only occurs here on a couple occasions each year.
