5th Sep

A dismal day with torrential rain (over 32mm mostly in a 90 minute spell), lightning and thunder and strong winds during the morning. There was barely a sign of a migrant in the bushes with just a Pied Flycatcher of note and the very elusive Wryneck made a brief appearance. Despite the awful conditions the sea remained quiet with just a flock of 12 Greenshanks, a Mediterranean Gull, an Arctic Skua and two Balearic Shearwaters of note.

Two Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

Another Beautiful Marbled was caught overnight along with our first Red Underwing moth of the year.
