At least one Spoonbill was again present with a Little Ringed Plover, 8 Black-tailed Godwits, Common Sandpiper and Wood Sandpiper all of interest. Cuckoo and Barn Owl were also noted. The cloudy conditions produced counts of 33 Swifts, 3 Sand Martins, 15 Swallows and 3 House Martins during the day, while 4 Stonechats were also observed.
In the moth traps 2 Treble Lines, a Setaceous Hebrew Character, Muslin, Shuttle-shaped Dart, Vine's Rustic, Flame Shoulder and Heart & Dart were caught. Butterflies were rather scarce in the cool winds but 2 Brown Argus, 2 Small Copper, a Green-veined White and 3 Wall Browns were seen.
