20th May

Another quiet day with the obvious highlight of an early morning female Montagu's Harrier but unfortunately it didn't linger and quickly headed northwards. A Spotted Flycatcher was seen at the Long Pits and intriguingly what sounded like a Night-heron flew over the area just after dark but was not seen.

Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

Dragonflies seen today included ten Variable Damselfly and a Norfolk Hawker.
