Almost flat calm first thing with cloud gradually building through the morning but with none of the forecasts agreeing if and when the rain would arrive (it eventually did around 11:00) I opened limited nets in anticipation! All of the day’s interest was again offshore with a steady southerly passage of birds, dominated by a good total of 1,462 Black-headed Gulls along with 11 Common Gulls, 16 Mediterranean Gulls, 7 Sandwich Terns, 8 Common Terns, 6 Common Scoter, a Tufted Duck, 14 Curlew, a Heron, 38 Oystercatchers, a Sanderling, 4 Teal and 6 Whimbrel.
A Grey Wagtail and 20+ Swifts over the point were the only other birds of note.
Magpie Moth
