Migration through the Teifi

Oystercatcher numbers are increasing with 221 in the estuary today, one flock of 180 looking and sounding like they will continue south today, Curlew and Black-headed Gulls are feeding in all parts of the estuary with the odd Med and Common Gull around. Swifts are still feeding over the Marsh in the late evening with 100's of Swallows and in the reedbed un-ringed Sedge Warblers, Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps are moving through now. c40 Starlings came in to roost last night and we have at least 3 creches of juvenile Shelduck, each 10-12 birds.
