Manorbier and Tenby

Seawatching for a couple of hours this morning (up to 8.30am) produced a Sooty Shearwater (west) and Balearic Shearwater (east) amongst a steady passage of Manxies and Kittiwakes past Old Castle Head. Also a dark phase Arctic Skua west. 

At Tenby south beach this evening a nice group of 46 Ringed Plover and a single Dunlin.

Also of note recently a Jackdaw bearing a yellow colour ring in the harvested potato field above Skrinkle Haven. The bird was ringed as a recently fledged juvenile in July 2024 at Pennard Cliffs, Gower and is apparently the furthest resighting from this project to date!
