From Roger Brock: A couple of things from our visit to Pembs the week before last: on Thursday 10th a healthy Sand Martin colony at Abermawr, probably a couple of dozen active nests (I didn’t do a systematic count, but there were enough birds flying around for that number) in the thin layer of earth high in the cliff between the vegetation and the stony part, so somewhat higher than the figure in the last report. Also, one Black Guillemot in Fishguard Harbour on the afternoon of the previous day (just after the departure of the miniature cruise ship), still in full summer plumage (I see there’s a recent photo of one on Birdguides already in full winter dress); brief adult Peregrine there too, on the Fishguard side of the bay.
