Another nice day at the coast, with a degree of cloud cover adding more favorable conditions for migrants. Three male Ring Ouzels were on the NWT reserve, as was a Black Redstart and there was clearly a general increase in the number of Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps on site. Eight Sand martins and a Swallow flew through heading west. Two Common Cranes were seen circling distantly over the mouth of Thornham Harbour.
The moth trap produced 10 Hebrew Characters, 8 Small Quaker, 3 Shoulder Stripe, 2 Early Thorn and single Dotted Chestnut, Red Chestnut, Common and Twin-Spot Quaker.
