A trickle of returning migrant waders with a Wood Sandpiper, 2 Greenshanks, 10+ Common Sandpipers, 6+ Little Ringed Plovers and a Ruff around the reserve. The bushes and sea remain very quiet, but I'm sure migration will pick up in the next couple of weeks.
An overload of juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls at the fishing boats. to be fair there is not much else there to look at yet.




Clavigesta pudeyi (Pine Leaf Mining Moth) not a particularly scarce species but quite atractive.
