7th July

Most of the interest was offshore again where a party of three Black-tailed Godwits flew north and 45 Mediterranean Gulls, an Arctic Skua and a Manx Shearwater were feeding. On the land, two Little Egrets, 40 Sand Martins and two Yellow Wagtails passed through.

Three Porpoise and two Grey Seals were seen offshore and a Brown Hare was seen in the Desert.

The moth traps were very productive with a Striped Hawkmoth, a remarkable four Light Crimson Underwings and another Scarce Black Arches of note.
