15th Aug

There was another reasonable arrival of migrants this morning with 50 Willow Warblers and highlights of singles of Spotted and Pied Flycatcher. The sea was pretty quiet with several hours of watching eventually producing a Redshank, an adult Little Gull, two Mediterranean Gulls, a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull and a Balearic Shearwater.

Eight Porpoises and a Grey Seal were seen offshore.

Another Gypsy Moth was the highlight from yet another very low catch of moths.
