North Pembs weather movements

A very narrow coastal strip appears to have been free from settled snow ........
Janet had many parties of Redwing along the road from Felindre to Fishguard this morning, also a female Merlin near Newport.
3 Shoveler in Fishguard Harbour, and Starlings over Fishguard this evening looking for a new roost, were unusual.

The Teifi estuary has gained a few hundred Lapwing from the higher fields, but Teal and Wigeon numbers looked normal with c100+ of each. 5 Goldeneye still at Priory Bridge.
Plenty of Water Rails(10+) screaming this evening and 10's of Common Snipe going to feed.
