The most likely new species for here at the moment seems to be glossy ibis but a prolonged scrutiny of the coastal areas predictably failed. The early morning routine was a bit unproductive and the nets were quickly taken down as the wind became unacceptable. No mega migrants in the moth trap, but double-figures of Silver Y.
