Here is Ian's orignial message about the Stone Curlew.
Seen at St.Davids Airfield 10.30 today.. At the eastern half of the main W-E runway, (SM796258) I flushed a stone curlew. Recognised it immediately from the pale washed-out buff plumage but more instantly from the striking wing pattern of black and white barring and white spots on black flight feathers. Long wings, loose, flappy flight. It landed further down the runway and through binoculars the most obvious features in bright sunshine were the insanely long chrome-yellow legs and ditto yellow base to the stout beak. Legs vertical, body horizontal. I thought the eye would be more obvious but it wasn't at 1-200m. I moved away so as not to disturb it. When I retraced my steps to leave, it had moved, but scanning further to the eastern end of the central runway I could see it just next to the runway, behind the post and rail fence which runs from Whitchurch vicarage to join the runway. A remarkable, unmistakable vagrant, rare enough in Wales, even rarer in Pembs. A long way from the Brecks or Downs, perhaps forced west by the strong easterlies we had yesterday. Ian Bullock
