Overton and Porteynon

Alistair Flanagan and I had the woodlark briefly this morning.  They dropped into the field closest to Overton Village, made a short flight within the field, then flew off to the east at c. 10:45.  All five still present.

At Porteynon 25 Med gulls among c. 90 black-headed gull was a far higher count than normal.  Otherwise 25 ringed plover and 6-8 turnstone (but tide wrong to get a good wader count), little egret etc.  A lot of song thrush on Porteynon Point.  Kestrel hunting there and sitting in the valley at Longhole.

    Well you did better than me, Barry Stewart & Matt Hunter this morning with the larks.. I was there between 07:30 & 9:00… No sign only skylarks,merlin,kestrel plus lots of small stuff

  2. I think we got very lucky Alun. By the way, the Med gull flock at Porteynon has two green darvic-ringed birds in it. I spend about 30 minutes first thing trying to get the right view – so if you are down that way it is worth a go.
