A Honey Buzzard came in over the Point and then lingered over the Trapping Area/Long Pits before heading north over New Romney. A Little Egret, 200 Sand Martins and a Yellow Wagtail were also seen.
It was a superb night at the moth traps with two Light Crimson Underwings, a Scarce Black Arches, a Small Mottled Willow, the first shingle record of the pyralid Elegia similella, an Acrobasis tumidana and the second area record of the tortrix Sparganothus pilleriana and second area of Agonopteryx kochiella while other notable records included a total of 35 Sussex Emeralds, four V-pugs, a Clay Triple-lines, a Scorched Carpet, a Black Arches and the pyralid Anania perlucidalis.
