A bit more variety today, with the Bill returning totals that included 100
Yellow Wagtails, 50 each of
Wheatear,
Tree Pipit and
Willow Warbler, 10
Sedge Warblers and 6
Grey Wagtails, together with minor oddities such as 4
Greenshanks, a
Green Sandpiper and another very early
Reed Bunting; another
Greenshank passed over at Ferrybridge. The sea remained quiet, with just 4
Balearic Shearwaters through off the Bill.
Immigrant moths included the season's first
Convolvulus Hawk-moth and 2
Delicates at the Bill, and single
Olive-tree Pearls at Sweethill and the Grove.
With singles already having been reported from as far north as Scotland, Portland's first Convolvulus Hawkmoth of the season was rather overdue © Martin Cade:
