Evening update
At about 1945, a single Minke Whale was seen amongst a feeding flock of Gannets to the west of the island. This super cetacean breached twice (2 hours apart), giving only brief, but very much welcome, views. A fantastic end to another beautiful day.
Despite a misty start to the day, there were very few birds on the island. Wader counts around the Narrows at high tide included two Turnstones, two Ringed Plovers, a Whimbrel, 13 Curlews and two Redshanks.
Inland, a single Willow Warbler was present in the withies.
The adult Swallows have been busy supplying newly-fledged chicks with insects in recent days. A good number of broods have fledged all over the island

This Light Arches was the highlight of the moth session, the first record of the year
