18th July

A trickle of movement offshore included 18 Shelducks, four Teal and four Mediterranean Gulls and an Arctic Skua, and 23 Sanderling and 18 Dunlin were on the beach at high tide. Two Willow Warblers were seen at the Long Pits and two Yellow Wagtails flew over.

A Grey Seal was feeding offshore.

An Eastern Bordered Straw was the unexpected highlight from the moth traps.
