With calm conditions for a change there was a decent arrival of migrants on the land with 90 Willow Warblers and 60 Whitethroats providing the bulk of the numbers along with a Garden Warbler, ten Lesser Whitethroats, 15 Reed Warblers and a Wheatear. A couple of Marsh Harriers also flew over and the family of Peregrine Falcons were giving a show during the morning.
The sea was quiet except for a steady flow of Gannets and a trickle of Sandwich and Common Terns.
A Rest Harrow was an unexpected capture in the moth trap along with seven Dark Swordgrass. Three Hummingbird Hawkmoths were also noted.
