4th June

Not a great deal to report. A Willow Warbler was singing in the trapping area and a Redpoll flew over this morning. A bit of seawatching in the afternoon produced an Arctic Skua and two Little Terns of interest.

Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

The best of the nights mothtrapping was a Double Dart Graphiphora augur - a very uncommon moth here in recent times.
