With lashing rain from the southeast for most of the morning, all that could be done was to batten down the hatches and wait out the heavy showers. Whilst a brief walk around the Bill in the afternoon failed to turn up anything new for today's log, a juvenile Sabine's Gull as well as 3 Little Gulls in Chesil Cove proved the highlight of the day, with singles of Great Northern Diver, Goosander and Eider reported from Portland Harbour.

The highlight from last night's moth trapping was this Red-headed Chestnut. Smaller quantities of other migrants included 7 Rusty-dot Pearls, 2 Pearly Underwings with singles of Rush Veneer, DSG, and Silver Y. pic.twitter.com/0t8ei5Yv6m
