Belated news from the weekend outside of the Burry Inlet.
The highlight was watching hunting Kestrel, Buzzard, Peregrine and Red Kite in the region. There was some evidence of migration in both directions with 2 Teal, 2 Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler at Llangennith Burrows. At Broughton Bay single Swallow, Sand Martin and Chiffchaff were seen. The Oystercatcher flock that ranges from Burry holms to Broughton is still around max 170 at present and there were 147 Common Gull roosting on Broughton beach with 12 Dark-bellied Brent Geese. Many species are getting in the mood and there were many pairs of Meadow Pipit, Linnet and Stonechat noted today in the calmer conditions.
