Yesterday evening over the high tide there were at least 15 Curlew (a significant increase) and a smart breeding plumaged Black-tailed Godwit on the pool opposite Crabhall, along with exactly 50 Oystercatchers (at least 5 with colour rings but too far away to read).
Also it seems that the Gann Shelduck have had an appalling breeding season - certainly no ducklings seen on the lagoon.
I noted a red colour-ringed male Wheatear on Skomer on 5th & 15th June - C6P - it was ringed on the Calf of Man as a juvenile on 1st July 2018. Skomer is 260km from the ringing site (presumably having been to Africa & back in between!). Great stuff.
