Migration day 29th May

At Sand Point this morning there was plenty of migration overhead mainly from House Martins. Swallows and Swifts were also in attendance in smaller numbers. I also heard a Tree Pipit over and 3 female Wheatears were in the bay. What was interesting to see was two Silver Y moths which looked to have come over with the birds. Pyrausta ostrinalis was new for the year and with a Yellow-tail larva made three new additions for the year list.
