A wet and blustery day made observations tricky. Despite this, a chiffchaff  was singing briefly in the rain at the observatory, whilst a fulmar, several gannets and kittiwakes went past north and south depending on their feeling. The hoped for Manx shearwater did not make an appearance despite slightly promising weather conditions. 

This male Broad-bodied Chaser dragonfly was roosting in the Helgoland trap, and has since been moved somewhere drier and more sheltered. 




Gypsonoma sociana colonised in 2017 and is now doing very well living on the poplars.
