The highlight from the Trapping Area was a Grasshopper Warbler along with a scatter of commoner migrants including two Garden Warblers. A trickle of birds overhead included a Green Sandpiper and 42 Sand Martins.
A superb male Southern Migrant Hawker was found in the bushes to the east of the Long Pits and a Lesser Emperor was seen at the causeway between the Long Pits.
