Still very quiet with just 60 Common Scoters offshore and a Corn Bunting on the land.
Two Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore and two Brown Hares were seen in the Desert..
The highlight of the day without doubt though was a Willowherb Hawkmoth caught by Barry Banson on 24th May and hot on the heels of one caught at Folkestone. This is the fifth British record of this spectacular moth.
