Pencarnan wakes up

Last night's heavy weather has at last livened up the bird scene around Pencarnan.

This PM 11 Wagtails busy feeding on the beach - all alba, together a single Ringed Plover. The first retuurning Wheatears at Point St John (8) have at last appeared. A Swallow's nest in a horse shelter close to the headland holds a family of very fluffy young. Will they make it?

But best of all, a single Swift hawked over the same area; our latest date by far for th is species. Also noteable was a Lesser Whitethroat seen in The Bush!
