On a lovely warm summer's day there were lots of butterflies including Red 
Admirals, Small Tortoiseshells, Small Whites, Green-veined Whites, Grayling and Meadow Brown and other insect life included many Cinnabar caterpillars (see below).

Birding however was quite slow although a Common Sandpiper was present on the 'Whaleback' and a stunning adult Mediterranean Gull was seen and the Sandwich Terns continue to build up. Breeding birds were much in evidence including lots of juveniles of various species including Blackbird (see below).
