Fifteen to twenty, perhaps more, sandwich terns were seen heading north in small flocks between about mid-day until c. 15.30 hrs, plus at least 3 common terns (i.e. those that could be identified closer to the coast) plus a few adult common gulls. Typical/expected small numbers of kittiwakes, auks, fulmars and gannets were also flying and feeding offshore - the latter usually close to few porpoises which were regularly seen within a few hundred metres or less of the coast. A single manx shearwater was also seen heading south late in the afternoon. Small numbers passerines came in off the sea during the day including linnets, goldfinches and siskins.
Later, down at the small pond near Llanferran, we had excellent views (with Ian and Gil Bullock) of the two pairs of garganey still present - avidly feeding in the shallows. Not far away at least 6-10 chiffchaffs were feeding along the wetland/willow edge, ending an overcast and still quite cold but non-the-less refreshing end to a good day.
