21st May

Another very quiet day. Large numbers of gulls and terns were feeding at the Patch and included a second-summer Yellow-legged Gull but very little else was seen.

Three Brown Hares were seen near the fishing boats.

Only two Grizzled Skippers could be found but conditions were far from ideal for looking for them.
