4th June: Bee-eaters heard over Southwell were presumably the reappearing 5 from earlier in the week. Turtle Dove remained at the Obs. Seabirds tricky to count with lots lingering offshore incl c250 Manx, c15 Balearics, an Arctic Skua and at least 1 Storm Petrel; 4 more A Skuas & a Black Tern thru.

Terrible moth-trapping conditions but still a few decent migrants hanging on from last weeks excesses: this mrng at the Obs mostly very ragged singles of Olive-tree Pearl, Gem, Eastern Bordered Straw and Ni Moth the best.
