The wind turned to a brisk easterly for Easter Sunday, with a warmer feel to the air thanks to clear sunny skies for most of the day. The first Sandwich Tern of the year spent the day fishing off the West Coast with a wagtail influx there and around the Narrows consiting of 14 Pied Wagtails and two White Wagtails. Two Merlins too advantage of this and were seen hunting the pipits and wagtails.
A Ringed Plover was in Solfach with the over-wintering colour ringed Whimbrel on Carrag y Honwy. Wheatears increased to 14 with warblers totalling nine Blackcaps, 15 Chiffchaffs and 14 Willow Warblers with a single Chaffinch and six Siskins elsewhere.
The warmer weather saw an early Hummingbird Hawkmoth and a Peacock Butterfly in the garden at Cristin.
