Skomer

Again sorry for lack of posts of late. Recent highlights have include a bunch of good seabirds seen by Jason (Assisitant Warden) on the 19th and 21st including 3 Balearic Shearwaters, a juv. Sabines Gull, 1383 Kittiwakes, 1000 Razorbills, 9 Arctic Skuas (a good count for Skomer!) and a Bonxie on the 19th and a juv. Long-tailed Skua on the 21st. Small birds of late have included a Ring Ouzel on the 15th, a Barred Warbler on the 25th and a Black Redstart and what I considered to be a Siberian Chiffchaff yesterday. I'm sure the number of good birds will start to drop off now that Jason has left but we'll keep looking when we can.
