Two Dunlins and 87 Mediterranean Gulls flew east this morning and two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls were feeding offshore.

A very small arrival of migrants on the land included 12 Willow Warblers.

Two Porpoises were feeding offshore.

A totally unexpected catch in the moth traps this morning was this Dentated Pug which appears to be a new species for the area.
