The wind had picked up over night, and the guests got off to a late departure today. However, by the afternoon it was generally a nice calm day.
A morning hour long seawatch yielded 583
Manx Shearwaters. Wader numbers were still quite strong today with: 52
Oystercatchers, one
Dunlin, seven
Whimbrels, 22
Curlews, 11
Redshanks, one
Common Sandpiper and three
Turnstone. A
Black-
headed Gull was down on Solfach today, moulting through to its non-breeding plumage, losing the dark head feathers.
The
Little Owl is still at Nant Valley and squawks very determinedly at anyone who comes within sight of it, but it does provide good views.
