15th June

The day's only reports were of a steady trickle of Manx Shearwaters heading back west off the Bill, where 6 Balearic Shearwaters and an Arctic Skua also passed by.

Sightings of Red-veined Darters continue to be sufficiently frequent that we haven't been bothering to mention all of them; today there were still several males in the vicinity of the pool in Yeolands Quarry © Martin Cade:
