The temperature dropped further today with
the first signs of frost for a while. A rousing wind picked up
throughout the day too though the sun continued to beat down on the island.
Two Black Redstarts, one at Ty Pellaf and the other at Cristin put
on good shows, as did the over-wintering Firecrest around
Nant well.
A
pair of Teal on Pwll Cain were new in today and a Common Gull
on the East Side was noteworthy. A brace of Buzzards continue to
hunt the island along side a lone Merlin who favours the
South End most. A few more assorted migrants were logged such
as one Snipe, six Redshanks, one Turnstone, one Skylark,
101 Meadow Pipits, two Grey Wagtails, 18 Robins, one Fieldfare,
three Redwings, three Chiffchaffs, eight Goldcrests, two
Rooks, seven Starlings, one Greenfinch, 176 Linnets, and
one Reed Bunting.
