Grounded Migrants
The dense fog that persisted through much of the morning disappointingly produced very little in the way of grounded birds with 2 Robin and a Wheatear the only evidence of new arrivals.
Diurnal Migration
A trickle of Meadow Pipit and Pied Wagtail continued to move through in the morning gloom, however, as the fog lifted a group of 85 Whooper Swan headed north – this would appear to be the largest flock ever recorded over the island.
Miscellaneous
Two Raven and a Little Egret were again logged.
Moths
The moth traps attracted Red Sword-grass, Dark Sword-grass and Oak Beauty with the latter the second new species for the island so far this year.
