On a lovely hot, sunny day interest was again pretty minimal. A
Chiffchaff was the only new arrival at the Bill, where 4
Sandwich Terns and 3 each of
Manx Shearwater,
Common Scoter and
Mediterranean Gull passed by on the sea. The only reports from elsewhere were of 3
Sanderlings, a
Shelduck and a
Grey Heron at Ferrybridge.
Immigrant moth arrivals seem to have utterly ceased, with a single battered
Rusty-dot Pearl the only overnight capture in the Obs traps.
