14th June

A strong WxSW wind blew through the night and for much of the day and resulted in a surprisingly good movement of Manx Shearwaters with 298 passing west during the morning. Other bits on the sea included three Mediterranean Gulls and an Arctic Skua of note. Very quiet on the land with just a Cuckoo of interest.

The highlight on the mammal front was a Grey Squirrel seen in the trapping area  More typically, four Porpoise and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

Two Norfolk Hawker dragonflies and a Holly Blue butterfly were seen in the Trapping Area.
