22nd May: after yesterday's excitements today was far quieter with 2 each of Reed Warbler & CC, and singles of Wheatear & Willow Warbler the only grounded arrivals at the Bill; Sanderlings were down to 21 at Ferrybridge. 42 Common Scoter, 21 commic terns, 2 Balearic Shearwaters & a GNDiver at sea

Very disappointing overnight mothing at the Obs: trap contents getting prettier as the month goes on but almost no evidence of new migration/dispersal
