We don't expect any great number of passage birds this late in the spring but the odd Spotted Flycatcher or Garden Warbler would be nice, instead we had to be content with a single Wheatear and a small passage of Swallows and a Swift.
Bird of the day was seen even before arriving when a Lapwing (a scarce Hilbre bird, right) alighted on the rocks west of the lagoon between the islands.
A few Green Veined White butterflies flew early in the very warm morning and a Netted Pug moth (fairly uncommon but a Hilbre speciality at this time of year) was found near the obs.
