Only 10 Med Gulls, but including Yellow AZET, at the Teifi yesterday.
Also 2 Redshanks & a Greenshank (4 Common Sandpipers yesterday)
Black Headed Gull Black 2CHN, also at the Teifi yesterday, is interesting as having been in the area for many months. It was ringed as a chick at Meriden, between Birmingham & Coventry, on June 30 last year. I first saw it at Newport on Dec 12 with several sightings in Feb & March (I wasn't looking in April & May) then June 29. Most BHGs move on much more quickly.
Shelducks breeding. A family of 4 were there when I returned in early June. They are still all there. A further family of 4 turned up in mid June. At first they were doing well, but in the last week have lost 2 of the chicks.
