On site 5 new Blackcap (fitted with MOTUS tags), Chiffchaff, Jay & a Sanderling on the shore amongst the mass of washed up Ulva lactuca following the recent strong winds.

Following a wet & windy night rather than a featured moth of the day here's a Clouded Yellow on a sheltered bit in the sun early afternoon.
