It was a warm but breezy day today and, in the morning, the weekly moth enthusiasts came to look at our moth traps. Unfortunately, there weren’t very many moths:1 Northern Drab, 5 Hebrew Character, 1 Diamond-back and 1 Agonopterix subpropinquella.

Bird-wise it felt also quieter than the last few days, but 3 Ring Ouzels and 7 Wheatears were seen in the Dunes and 2 Great Egret on the grazing marshes.
