As it was such a thoroughly miserable day on the peninsula weather wise, I spent most of my time staring out to sea. Highlight for me was seeing Polish ringed Black-headed Gull TJVV back at Dunge for its 7th winter. 750+ Chaffinches came in off the sea this afternoon, 7,000+ were during the day.

Not much choice for Q. It's A.quadratus the Four Spot Orb Weaver one of our heaviest spiders in the UK. Also a newer spider to Britain is the small pholcid Quamtana. It's found inside man made habitats. #Arachtober @britishspiders.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk

A bit battered, but still a new moth here: Euchromius ocellea.
