17th Nov

A first-winter Caspian Gull and an adult Yellow-legged Gull were seen at the Point and nine Sandwich Tern passed west offshore. Two Chiffchaffs and two Firecrests were seen on the land.

A Grey Seal was feeding offshore.

Although the moth traps were not run overnight a very worn Scarce Umber came to one of the lit windows and is only the third Observatory record.
