A Red-throated Diver was again seen along the West Coast during the morning, throughout the winter they can quite often be seen heading west through the sound from Cardigan Bay and out into the Irish Sea, perhaps staying east of the island overnight where it's more sheltered and heading out to the west to feed during the day? A mixture of gulls were also present earlier on moving along the West and included an adult Mediterranean Gull, 203 Black-headed Gulls, four Common Gulls, 13 Herring Gulls and 103 Kittiwakes, as well as a Lesser Black-backed and Greater Black-backed Gull further south towards the Narrows. A single Common Scoter drifted south and Auks were present in smaller numbers with 21 Guillemots, 28 Razorbills and eight Auk sp seen passing by.

A fine Snow Bunting discovered on the Narrows was a pleasant surprise as it fed along the short grass, not always an annually recorded species on the island. Close by and Oystercatcher, the Curlew flock, 16 individuals, and a Redshank were the only waders noted. Little else was recorded however one of the resident Peregrine Falcons treated islanders to its displays of speed and agility as it stooped at small flocks of Starlings over the Lowlands and mountainside, such a fantastic bird to have breeding on the island!

Smart Snow Bunting, not always an easy bird to catch up with on Bardsey
