From Jeremy Moore: The report of a sparrowhawk from Whales in Wales reminded me to send in my own sightings from my day in Pembs (22/6) . Firstly a female sparrowhawk above Pwll Deri (not far from the YHA). It was very close and was carrying a small prey item, presumably a passerine with its wings removed? It was heading east around the north side of Garn Fawr. I can't imagine where the nearest nesting site would be. Then another sprrowhawk heading west along the coast between Porthgain and Ynys Barry. Families of choughs were near there (4 young) and near Porthgain (3 young). I also saw the sand martin colony at Aber Mawr, which looked quite healthy.
