Cuckoo

A juv Cuckoo flew over the garden at Llanychaer late morning today.

A Garden & Pembrokeshire First ( If i had actually seen it ! )

Caught on the camera trap.

Dun (lin) Roaming...

This little beauty was on the breakwater this afternoon! will it stay or will it go? did it arrive from Greenland or mid Wales, who knows but its nice to see one in summer plumage at this time of the year!

Green Sandpiper

A Green Sandpiper has just in the last ten minutes landed at the pond at Llanychaer.

Same bird?

Just as a coincidence perhaps this is the same bird Richard got four days before. Captured just along from Tresinwen on the way to Strumble.

Strumble Head - 2 July 2017

This is the Red Kite that has been hanging around for some time.  One of last year's young?  Pretty ragged plumage anyways.  Was following tractors silage cutting all afternoon on Sunday.  Seemed to be good tactic as it was seen feeding on a few "casualties" of the cutting.

Strumble Today 4/7/2017

The first trip to Strumble with the new 150-600mmG2 Tamron on the front of the camera. Alas only distant porpoise but on the bird front the Choughs were more active than I've seen of late with two or three individuald flying by and then a group of three. A calling curlew got my attention with two groups of three passing a few minutes appart. A few auks some kittywakes and the odd sheerwater completed the lineup with a few passing gannets for good measure. The images below are both montages of the various shots captured. Quite pleased with the clarity of the new lens though.
