30th June

Thirty-two Mediterranean Gulls were seen offshore and a Yellow Wagtail and a Tree Pipit flew over this morning. 

A Grey Seal was seen offshore.

Three Small Mottled Willows were found in the moth-traps and a Red-veined Darter was seen in the Desert,

However, the highlight of the day was a very smart Kentish Plover found on the beach at Lade Sands. This is the first area since 2019.
