Overhead: 30+ Meadow Pipit, 1 Tree Pipit, 3 Yellow Wagtail, 1 Grey Wagtail, 3 Siskin, c100 Swallow, 30+ House Martin, 30+ Sand Martin and the surprise of the morning with an Osprey flying out to sea.
Sea-watch: c60 Balearic Shearwater, 2 Arctic Skua, 7 Sandwich Tern, 2 Common Scoter, a Dunlin and a Ringed Plover.
Fish: Bluefin Tuna.
Dragonflies: 1 Common Darter.
Butterflies: Small White, Red Admiral and Speckled Wood.
Moths: 2 more Convolvulus Hawkmoth and a Channel Island Pug to name a few.
