After the excitement of Iberian Chiff Chaff & Marmora's Warbler in May & June, it was odds on that July would be a damp squib of a month. So it proved and the only excitement on offer seemed to be for those who delight in counting Med Gulls. A few days of south westerly winds mid month flattered to deceive with small numbers of Manx Shearwaters pushed up the channel. Let's hope for better in August.
