28th May

 

The weather hasn't done us many favours this spring and the current Atlantic airstream has all but killed migration: just a few new waders today incl 16 Sanderling and a Whimbrel at Ferrybridge and a single new Chiffchaff at the Bill. Manx today mostly departed from Portland waters.

There's only one previous Portland record of Sloe Pug so we're not especially familiar with the species but this looks to be a second one from the Obs moth-traps last night
