Spotted Flycatcher - The Teifi

One Dunlin was the only small wader we could find this evening on the high tide, a little extra effort on Poppit beach though did produce two Sandwich Terns and a Spotted Flycatcher was briefly in the overflow car park.  A colour-ringed male Reed Bunting was in the car-park, surprisingly the first sighting of a colour-ringed Reed Bunting here as this is a daily feeding site for the Poppit House Sparrow population. The Reed Buntings are only colour-ringed on the reserve, as part of a BTO RAS  - Retrapping Adults for Survival study.
