Other highlights included 1 Waxwing recorded near the car park, 14 Little Gulls, 3 Arctic Skuas, 1 Jack snipe in off the sea and 10 Cattle Egrets still.

In the moth traps today were 11 Rusty Dot Pearl, 4 Large Wainscot, 1 Large Yellow Underwing, 1 Black Rustic and 1 Yellow-line Quaker. A Red Admiral was also recorded.
