St Davids Hd am

A Melodious Warbler was a nice surprise first thing at the site of the old Whitesands Bay Hotel at the south east side corner of the GC. It eventually settled into the backs of a row of small Long-leaved Willows lining the road but was very skulking and difficult to get to grips with. Still there at 3pm. Apologies for the photos - it was a swine. Also the same Lesser Whitethroat, a Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff in the same area. A Bullfinch on the move was unusual as were 11 Common Buzzards together over Porthmelgan Valley where Goldcrests had increased to a dozen or so. Pretty quiet otherwise.






The westerly weather system due to arrive on sunday (3rd) had a promising gestation on the Eastern seaboard of the USA and Canada and could drop something good into the County - here's hoping!
