Weather: S force 1 sunny and very hot
On what is probably the hottest bank holiday ever at Hilbre, few birds made unexpected appearances. There were 6 Pied Wagtails seen and a female Wheatear was here. The lingering waders included 200 Dunlin and 250 Ringed Plover. Little Egrets increased again to 16 birds. Four Grey Herons were also present. Fifteen Sandwich Terns were about the islands. The morning moth trap was the main interest.
