11th July 2015

Weather: NW force 4
There was little time for birding today as the obs AGM took place on the island, however some Swifts went through, 3 Whimbrel, 2 Little Egrets and 4 Grey Herons were noted. Overnight a fine moth catch took place with 44 species identified by our moth and insect specialist. The most numerous moth was the Garden Tiger with 85 examples, not surprising considering the massive number of these caterpillers on the islands in the last few months.
