The second Greenish Warbler to be trapped this year. Prior to this there had been 11 records of Greenish Warbler. Seven of the 14 records have now been in the past 6 years.

A female Firecrest discovered at Cristin is
presumably the same bird as yesterday whilst a Cuckoo was definitely a new bird in. Best of the rest include 18 Turnstones, one Sandwich Tern, one Collared Dove, eight Swifts, one Willow Warbler, and three Spotted
Flycatchers.
Lepidoptera
were clearly on the move with 31 Painted
Lady’s an excellent arrival, though nothing compared to the swarm of Diamond-back Moths present. Ubiquitous
across the whole island, today’s count of 3717 is a new island record. This
just scratches the surface of how many are present with the actual numbers
likely to be many magnitudes higher.
Over 3500 Diamond-backed Moths were counted today
20 Thrift Clearwings were seen on the South End
The thrift on the south of the island is fantastic
