Up to three Spoonbills were on the Broadwater today, along with a Greenshank and eight Black-tailed Godwit. On the sea a short seawatch revealed over 100 Sandwich Terns flying in and out of the wash to feed along with 8 Little Terns plus a single Gannet. The moth traps held 42 species including Small Emerald, Kent Black Arches, White Satin, Nut-tree Tussock, Archer’s Dart and Captoptria pinella (pictured).
