13th August

13th August: It was hard work in today's stifling heat and the rewards weren't plentiful with new grounded migrants almost absent. A Pied Fly at the Obs, 2 YLGulls and a few lingering moulting Yellow Wagtails were the best of it at the Bill, with 6 Balearics and a Bonxie of interest on the sea.
