Monday 22 August 2022

A dry start to the day if a bit breezy turned into light rain showers for mid-day before clearing again. Birding was quiet on the Island today however, a Teal was in Solfach, two Sparrowhawks were hunting the Mountain and a Tree Pipit was on the Narrows. Non-avian highlights were six Risso's Dolphins off the West Coast and a Migrant Hawker and the only the second Speckled Wood of the year was at Nant.
