25th Oct

There was a noticeable decrease of migrants with just 15 Chiffchaffs, six Goldcrests and one Firecrest in the bushes. Some wildfowl were moving over the sea with one Shelduck, eight Common Scoter and 17 Pintail. A Barn Owl was seen and heard late evening when checking the moth traps at the Observatory.

Three Palpita vitrealis, one Scarce Bordered Straw, one Radford's Flame Shoulder and a Vestal were the highlights from the moth traps.
