Skomer

Back from 3 days on Skomer leading the autumn migration event for the Wildlife Trust South & West Wales.  60 species in total, daily totals were 44, 44, and 46.  Highlights included a Goshawk, 5 Pied Flycatcher, 2 Spotted Flycatcher, 4 Whinchat (including a smart male), 2 Marsh Harrier, a Tufted Duck (first island record for 2022), a Reed Warbler, and a nice scattering of migrants, residents and identification challenges.  You can view the trip report here.  The Raven gathering was a total delight.
