The north wind doth blow and we shall have "not a lot" although a Pied Fly was the first for several days with a supporting cast of 3 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Wheatear, 2 Willow Warbler, Blackcap & Whitethroat plus 2 Snipe that came off the beach and flew inland fairly early on. Offshore southbound 56 Teal, 8 Wigeon, 5 Sandwich Tern, 2 Fulmar, 2 Shelduck, Arctic Skua, Gannet, Heron & Oyk plus northbound 16 Common Tern, Gannet & Fulmar.


Moths poor in both numbers & variety resorting to the publishing of a photo of a personal favourite, Angle Shades, which is a regular in small numbers even on the coolest most unsuitable night.

Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Pied Flycatcher, 1 Robin, 1 Willow Warbler.
