The heatwave continues.  A flock of 16 Shelduck flew east and Tufted Duck was confirmed as a new breeding species for the recording area with a one day-old duckling seen at the Long Pits.

The highlight from the moth traps was a White-line Snout - a new species for the Observatory traps and only the fourth area record.
