At St Govan's late morning the strong Northerly wind seemed to have put migration on hold with just one Wheatear seen. A pair of Chough provided some entertainment as they relentlessly pursued and harassed an interloper into their territory. A dozen or so Gannets were close in and provided some great views as they fished right under the cliffs.

At Freshwater West early afternoon a few Sand Martins were around the cliff top colony. A quick walk on Castlemartin Corse produced few birds but the male of a pair of Wheatears allowed a vey close approach.
