Another calm day saw a good number and variety of birds
migrate through the island today, with a few highlights.
First off, the wader diversity increased with a good number
logged, the usual waders were logged around the rocks and beach, but included
were four Ringed Plovers, a Golden Plover, a Grey Plover, five Dunlins, 27
Whimbrels and three Common Sandpipers. Also of note were a small group of three Teals
seen in Henllywn. Little of note passed out to sea, bar seven Sandwich Terns,
however, Hirundine movement was still very much underway with 39 Sand Martins,
123 Swallows and ten House Martins logged.
Inland, a good count of seven Tree Pipits flew overhead, 17
White Wagtails were seen on the Narrows, a male Redstart performed for a lucky
few and Wheatears amounted to 89 birds. In the gorse and bushes a good number
of Warblers were logged made up of nine Grasshopper Warblers, two Sedge
Warblers, four Whitethroats, ten Blackcaps, 23 Chiffchaffs, 233 Willow Warblers
and six Goldcrests.
