Weather: ENE force 1
Another beautiful and warm day with little wind and no cloud. Twenty Gannets and 8 Sandwich Terns were noted with few records of any surprise amongst the birds. Eleven Little Egrets was an increase in the most recent times, although 2 Grey Herons and 2 Shelduck were not. Ringed Plover numbered 35, the only waders of the day (apart from 240 Oystercatchers). The resident pipits, Linnets and Blackbirds were in low numbers. Insects were the best sightings, as they often are in mid-summer, there were 8 Painted Ladies, 4 Common Blue butterflies, 2 Brown Silver-line Moths and Azure Damselflies, one of each sex.
