Two Mediterranean Gulls and nine Arctic Skuas were seen offshore. The Wryneck was still present but proved elusive. An Osprey flew over and Kestrel numbers are increasing with 12 birds present. Five Grey Wagtails and five Tree Pipits also flew over. Very quiet in the bushes.

Two Porpoises were feeding offshore.

Three Scarce Bordered Straws were of note in the moth traps. A nymph Mediterranean Stick-insect was found.

Elsewhere, the White-winged Black Tern remained on Burrowes and the Pectoral Sandpiper was seen at ARC again.
