26th Sep

A miserable day with frequent heavy rain and strong winds making observation very difficult. On the face of it the weather conditions seemed reasonable for some seawatching but it was actually very disappointing most birds seemed to be lingering rather than moving through and just 14 Mediterranean Gulls, two Arctic Skua and two Balearic Shearwaters of note. Very quiet on the land with just 30 Chiffchaffs, 11 Blackcaps and five Wheatears of interest.

Six Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

Twelve Palpita vitrealis, two Delicates and three Scarce Bordered Straws were noteworthy.
