Windy and overcast this morning, with little of note on the land except for 70 Swifts and a couple of Sand Martins heading south.

The sea was a little better, with a Shelduck coming in from quite a distance out, a single Scoter and 4 Gannet north. A Common Tern, Redshank and a Curlew headed south.


While removing some vegetation from the Heligoland this morning, it was a pleasant surprise to find 3 Puss Moth caterpillars feeding on one of the Poplars. These spectacular caterpillars will turn into quite a handsome moth which we occasionally find in our traps.
