TERN AGAIN!

Steve Berry beat me by a few hours but I had three off the breakwater this afternoon!

Strumble Head (28 Mar 16)

Amazing difference a day makes.  Now that Katie has moved on and the sun returned I found 5+ Chiffchaffs in Porthsychan (been quiet for last couple of days).  3 of which were singing.

Had a brief glimpse of another warbler which gave impression of Willow Warbler but I couldn't locate it again. 

Steady passage of Swallows and odd Sand Martin.

Some nice big rollers hitting Porthsychan beach this morning...
