The Lesser Yellowlegs was out from Crabhall early this morning and then again at 17:20 before flying down the lagoon and out of sight with a Redshank.
This morning we were lucky to get over to Ramsey Island to help warden the Bay-breasted Warbler twitch. It went perfectly, the bird showed well at regular intervals, and all 160 visitors on the 4 boats left happy. Well done to the RSPB Ramsey Island team for their sterling work to accommodate an influx of visitors.
Whilst we were on Ramsey staggering news broke: Toby Phelps had pulled another magical rabbit out of the hat, with a CANADA WARBLER (the first British record) at Stack Rocks, Castlemartin. Unbelievable! Hopefully Toby will find the time to pen a few words here when he has recovered. As I type the bird had been seen intermittently during the day but with the wind increasing significantly tomorrow, and firing commencing on Monday (which will result in no access) most of us will sadly miss this epic Pembrokeshire rarity. It really does not get any better!
