18th May

Very little to report on the bird front. The Turtle Dove was seen in the trapping area again and five Mediterranean Gulls were feeding at the Patch.

 A Common Seal was seen on the beach and there was a report of at least six White-beaked Dolphins following a fishing boat about 4.5miles offshore this morning.

 A check of the Geotomus petiti site produced a single individual.

 A check of a few flower locations produced a few niceties including Thrift, Rock Soapwort and Hairy Garlic.
