Very quiet in the bushes although the first Firecrest of the autumn arrived. Hirundines passed through in good numbers again with 1600 Sand Martins and 1250 Swallows and were joined by 20 Swifts and a juvenile Hen Harrier. Four Arctic Skuas were lingering offshore.
Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
The moth traps provided much of the excitement with a super Striped Hawkmoth of great note along with an Evergestis limbata, a Clay Triple-lines, a Four-spotted Footman, an Oak Nycteoline and an odd-looking Green Silver-lines.
