Pen Anglas 4th June

The only probable migrant was a Spotted Flycatcher lurking about in the burnt gorse by the dry stone wall. Quite a few butterflies about now with a very small dark looking blue which looked interesting.

Manxies streaming west past the headland close inshore as I type this.

The Foxgloves are putting on a good show this year.

After a few lean years this year Lesser Redpoll are extremely numerous around the headland.

Lots of nesting activity going on.  Blackcaps nest building in the garden, Sedge Warblers everywhere, pair of Collared Doves in the farmyard, Whitethroats all over the place.  Young Robins, Blackbirds and Dunnocks in the garden.

Its not as if real estate is hard to come by. These little gems ignored the 13 nest boxes in the garden and chose to nest under the roof! Very funny watching the adults enter as they have to shimmy in sideways! (Hope the chicks aren't too fat when they come to fledge!)

Strumble Head 28th May

A quick walk around the headland found just a sgl Spotted Fly by the Old Coastguards , a few Porpoises out at sea & four Common Blue butterflies.

Flagpoles 14.00 27th May

Quite a suprise as of late the Flagpoles have been very quiet but present today a Whimbrel calling constantly looking for others , a summer plumaged Turnstone and six summer plumaged Dunlin including one extremely tired individual which Bella could have picked up if she had wanted to.
