A dawn 'til dusk day, starting with a White Satin in my garden moth trap and ending with an adult Long-tailed Skua in the harbour. In between was a sizeable haul of new species as Steve Lane, Steve Falk, Robert and I searched the dunes and Ragged Marsh for invertebrates. Other birds included seven Arctic Skuas high above the harbour, 2 Greenshank and 2 Whimbrel west and 2 Yellow Wagtails east. Robert found us a smart Clouded Yellow in the dunes, a Dark Green Fritillary zipped past and our first Grayling of the year was at Gore Point.
