Weather: SE force 4/5 , later N 2/3, very warm
A visit at the very middle of the year is usually quiet, as was the case today, but as always there is normally something of mention, today it was the passage of 64 Swifts, all in off the north end in a steady influx. More normal was just the odd Swallow on the island and 5 Sand Martins on passage. The other small passerines were mostly the regular breeders. Fourteen Little Egrets were a good number, although they often peak around this time of year. Sandwich Terns were counted at 45 and were the only 'seabirds'. Butterflies about were 8 Small White, 6 Red Admiral and 2 Painted Ladies, while moths flying by day included 4 Silver Y, a Cinnabar and a Burnet. Grey Seals were counter at 180 just before low tide.
