Ouzels of Birds

Well not quite, but it did require an easterly wind to enliven sightings here in the Pencarnan 1k square.

2 RING OUZELS close to Rhosson Chapel was the most notable sighting this AM, though not unexpected given the time of the season. A single JAY was way beyond the most westerly of St Davids' Oaks, and a total of 11 SWALLOWS were logged during the morning period, but the most common of the viz mig species was CHAFFINCH with a morning passage of many small  flocks.

Storm day (Monday 16th) produced the 50th species to visit the caravan's bush - a female MERLIN  made three calls during the storm force winds, and on post storm day (Tuesday 17th) 4 PINTAILS were seen seeking shelter on Treleddyn Pond.
