Very quiet on the land with just 15 Sand Martins and five Yellow Wagtails passing overhead a nd a Willow Warbler in the bushes. Seawatching produced nine Mediterranean Gulls, two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls and two Manx Shearwaters.
Single Grey and Common Seals were feeding offshore and a Brown Hare was seen on the land.
The presumed migrant pyralid moth Acrobasis tumidana was trapped overnight.
With the current weather conditions it was almost inevitable that there would be problems with fire at some stage and so it proved today when a large fire broke out in the broom and gorse near the Sanctuary. Fortunately the local brigade were soon on hand and had the fire quickly under control.
