30th May

Frustratingly, the birds of the day would have been a small flock of Bee-eaters which flew over the Point mid-morning but went unseen. A Crossbill also flew over.

A Scorched Carpet and two Beautiful Hook-tips were the only moths of note in the traps and a pair of mating Hummingbird Hawkmoths were seen on the power station wall..

There was an impressive arrival of Painted Ladies during the morning with at least 400 being seen.
