It was a very windy start to 2013, although thankfully clear skies presided throughout the day. A movement of over 2000 auks took place in the morning, almost all of which were
Razorbills. A
Mediterranean Gull, seven
Common Gulls and a steady stream of
Kittiwakes also passed by. Six
Snipe were flushed from the Lighthouse pond, whilst two
Song Thrushes remained inland.
Three Purple Sandpipers were present on the wave-battered rocks near Solfach
Turnstone
Kittiwake

Hello Ben,
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if you could keep an eye out for any of our leg-flagged Turnstones on Bardsey. We are leg-flagging Turnstones at Fleetwood Marine Lakes and they have a green colour ring on teh right tarsus, BTO metal on right tibia and black leg flag with two white letters on the left tibia. Any sightings can be reported to nwturnstones@gmail.com.
Cheers,
Seumus
Will do Seumus- I have never actually seen any leg-flagged Turnstones here, but will keep an eye out and let you know if its the appropriate combination
