4th Aug

Very quiet despite the calmer conditions. Visible migration was limited to 54 Sand Martins and 15 Yellow Wagtails and a Garden Warbler was about the best in the bushes. Two Arctic Skuas flew west in the evening and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull was seen at the fishing boats.

A Brown Hare was seen on the land and four Porpoises were feeding offshore.

A Vestal, four Small Mottled Willows and a Cydia amplana were the highlights from the fairly quiet moth traps.
