Very poor showing of Birds-foot Trefoil on the reserve with a trip out with a pheromone API lure still attracting 25+ Six-belted Clearwing in half an hours effort.

Southbound 54 Black-headed Gull, 14 Curlew, 5 Swallow & Common Scoter with northbound 4 Sandwich Tern, Common Scoter & Gannet. 

Pempelia genistella is a nationally scarce species living on Gorse that we do particularly well for despite not being blessed with a huge quantity of its foodplant.
