11th June

More fresh to strong, mainly westerly winds and rain from late morning brought more seawatching with a Mediterranean Gull, an Arctic Skua and 49 Manx Shearwaters of note. There was no sign of any migrants on the land.

Three Porpoises and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.

A check of the trapping area for insects proved surprisingly with a Box Bug, several Mottled Shieldbugs, a few early instar nymphs of Sickle-hearing Bush-cricket and the tortrix moth Acleris logiana which is only the fourth Dungeness area record.
