Yellow-browed Warbler at Caerfarchell

A day birding around the St Davids peninsula, highlight a YBW at Caerfarchell, between the village and Solva at Brynhedydd.
Redwing at Treginnis was my first but lasted only a few seconds as it was taken by a Sparrowhawk. 15 Swallows on lines, 111 Mallard on Treginnis Reservoir with 4 Teal. A few Goldcrests at Porthclais which was otherwise quiet. At Penberry Quarry 6 continental type Blackbirds with some Mistles. Kestrel at Dowrog. A good passage of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits all day, particularly the former. C2000 Starlings. Finally a Wheatear at Longhouse, Abercastle.
