2 adult Common Terns were on the beach just after HT and fishing offshore occasionally. Counts of birds on the beach – Turnstone (1), Ringed Plover (329), Sanderling (309), Dunlin (76), Herring Gull (72), Lesser Black-backed (16), Common Gull (14), Mediterranean Gull (28 inc 2 juv) & Black-headed Gull (56)

Out in the Bay – Gannet (1 juv), Peregrine (1), Mediterranean Gull (20+) and a few Kittiwakes amongs other gulls. The Peregrine flew directly between Mumbles and BP Baglan causing much panic to the smaller gulls, making them rise from the sea and group together in a flock.
