30th June

A Bee-eater was heard calling at the Point this morning and 71 Mediterranean Gulls were feeding offshore.

The clutch of Kestrel chicks had all finally fledged this morning but were still around the tower so we returned the sixth individual to the site where it successfully flew off and was later seen with its siblings back at the nest.

 The moth traps produced a couple of examples of the tortrix moth Acrobasis repandana.
