Slightly Out Of Area

I have received some information this morning regarding recent incidents concerning Youths in possession of an Airgun with telescopic sights around the Coast Path in the Solva area. The person who saw them seems to think it was being used to the detriment of local bird species. Please contact relevant authorities if you see anything like this.

A thorough search around the head didn't produce any migrants.  The Buzzard below set the pulse racing when it first appeared.  Stonechats showing well - this time with Bluebells!

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!)
