After yesterdays deluge this morning was damp, cooler & with a northerly influenced airflow. Offshore 3 drake Eider south & 2 Sandwich Tern north was it. Overhead 2 Swift screaming & a Swallow went north along the beach. Good to trap a juvenile Black Redstart although whether it is an offspring of one of the pairs here or whether it is a dispersing youngster from other pairs breeding in the dock this year is not known.
The number & variety of moths was suppressed by the weather conditions. Small Elephant Hawk-moth is a regular here.
Ringing: 3 Linnet, 1 Black Redstart, 1 Dunnock, 1 Greenfinch.
