Manx mostly departed from local waters for the time being but still min 13 Balearics off the Bill. Med Gulls continuing to increase with 150 offshore; 41 Com Scoter also thru. Single Grey Heron the only migrant from the land.

At least in comparison with west Cornwall, last night's moth migration at the Obs was crushingly duff (...it was very windy so not really a surprise); most likely oddity was a pyralid that looks to be Sandhill Double-spot zelleri - only the third for Portland and a good Dorset rare.

still around 10-12 red veined darter at yeolands quarry pool, only saw one female but have a suspicion they may go up the slopes from the pond or venture further afield after mating
