11th Aug

There was another decent arrival of migrants in the bushes with 75 Willow Warblers and ten Lesser Whitethroats of note along with five Ringed Plovers, two Dunlin, a Whimbrel, 50 Sand Martins, our first Tree Pipit and Tree Sparrow of the autumn and ten Yellow Wagtails overhead. The sea was very quiet with just three Mediterranean Gulls and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull at the Patch of interest. 

The tortrix Cydia amplana and a Four-spotted Footman (the fourth Observatory record) were the highlights of an otherwise poor night in the moth traps.
