The Magnolia Warbler still present at St Govan's Head early this morning (per Birdguides). In the scrub just north of the car park. It was elusive all afternoon yesterday but Lisa and I and about 30-40 others managed to see it just after 7pm. It is a superb bird, massive congratulations to Toby Phelps for the find.
In other news - on Tuesday I had a colour-ringed Curlew at the Gann, which was not one of the regular birds we see here that were ringed here. Dark orange on the left tibia, and green over yellow on the right, with black U0 inscribed on the yellow ring. Thanks to Tony Cross of the Mid Wales Ringing Group for providing details of this bird promptly:
A female bird, ringed by Mid Wales Ringing Group on 4/4/23 (21:00) at a nocturnal, pre-breeding roost at Betton, nr Brockton, Shropshire (52'37N, 37'0W). This was the first resighting, and it is not know where she nests. The colour-ringing is part of a project aiming to study the breeding areas, winter destinations and survival rates of Curlews breeding and wintering in Shropshire/Mid Wales. In the last eight years nearly 500 Curlews have been individually colour-marked with re-sightings in Cornwall, Devon, Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, Shropshire, Denbighshire, Caernarfonshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and Lanarkshire as well as Counties Cork, Galway, Waterford, Wicklow and Wexford in the Republic of Ireland, Jersey, France, Spain, Sweden and Finland.
