July began with clear skies and light winds from a Northerly direction. The highlight on the early morning seawatch were 2 Little Egret flying north along with a single Arctic Tern and 15 Manx Shearwater. The large Common Scoter flock off South Landing remains with 700 counted today. An immature Mute Swan flew north and a single Willow Warbler was in the Coastguard Gardens. Corn Buntings are now scarce on the outer headland so one singing by the lighthouse early morning was a surprise. Opposite Millenium Wood the Corncrake was heard again at 2230. By far the rarest find today was potentially a new moth for Flamborough if the suspected ID can be confirmed; a White Colon caught in the Lighthouse trap.
