This morning at The Patch just 3 Mediterranean Gulls and a single Common Tern among the Black Headed,Herring and Lesser Black Backed Gulls. Off shore a handful of distant Sandwich Terns and Gannets also 2 Harbour Porpoises.
At the back of the hide a Black Redstart on the perimeter fence taking food to its nest inside the power station boundary.
At West Beach another pair of Black Redstarts taking food back to another nest in the power station.

Well done at getting Drinker. Although I see lots of larva about I still haven't had the adult moth in the trap.
