North Pembs

 1st 'hirundine day' at Llys y Fran - c.30 Sand Martin refuelling low over the water this afternoon, on the sheltered sides. Three Goldeneye still present. (Den Vaughan)

All three common hirundines feeding over the Teifi Marshes this evening, 2+Swallows, 2+ House Martins with c 35 Sand Martins. Chiffchaffs now in double figures and a few Willow Warblers too. 

Interesting - the female Gadwall, not a regular species on the Teifi is still present. Been present since early  January she seems to associate with the Teal, still c 30 present and has avoided the drake Mallards !
