16th July

 

Slowly improving conditions but the birding remained uneventful today: after a shearwater-free spell a few Manx got moving off the Bill + at least 1 lingering YLGull there. 4 Sand Martins the day's only passerine migrants there. Ferrybridge: 7 Sanderling.

Moth migrants still extremely sparse and for the most part of the lowest quality so the first Scarce Bordered Straw of the year a little unexpected from the Obs moth-traps last night
