A few more seabirds

1st June 2011 – overcast SSW4/3
Offshore
The rising tide (0900-1000) produced 70 Manx Shearwater, 12 Gannet, 11 Guillemot, 8 Kittiwake, 4 Common Scoter and 3 Sandwich Tern.
Wildfowl and Waders
The drake Teal continues to linger – perhaps a nesting female is lurking close by. Late passage waders included 22 Dunlin, 20 Ringed Plover, 10 Grey Plover and a solitary Knot.
Moths
Poplar Hawkmoth, Mottled Rustic, Pebble Prominent, Shoulder-striped Wainscot and Garden Pebble were recent attractions that were new for the year.
