28th July

A breezy and rather overcast day produced a good movement of Willow Warblers with at least 12 recorded in various parts of the Point and three trapped in the Heligoland Trap. A single Whimbrel and a Green Sandpiper flew over the Observatory and several groups of Swifts seemingly came in with weather fronts.

A sea watch this afternoon produced a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull and Mediterranean Gull hanging around the fishing boats. Nine Little Terns, a Fulmar and a Kittiwake moved west.

 At least ten Porpoise, Two Common Seals and a single bull Grey Seal were also recorded from the fishing boats.

 Another Pale Shoulder was taken off the cover of the trap last night, making it the 11th area record.
