Weather: NW force 3, NE 3/4 in the afternoon
It was quiet this morning with a lone Willow Warbler about (as there has been frequently recently), and there was also a single Wheatear. The only other real evidence of passage was in the form of a couple of dozen Swallows flying through. A scattering of sea birds were found; 6 Gannets, 6 Guillemots, 3 Great Crested Grebes and around 250 Sandwich Terns and 10 Common Terns. About the island fed 6 Little Egrets, 3 Grey Herons and a small number of waders including 40 Ringed Plovers. There still seems to be a large number of Short-tailed Voles present (15 seen) despite the Kestrel making an appearance on most days recently. Butterflies flying were 3 Small Tortoiseshells, 1 Small White, and 3 Red Admirals, while as on many a quiet day the moth list gave added interest:
