Morfa Fields

 Interesting visit to Morfa Fields with Mark Nortis this afternoon.   Female Kestrel,  fledgling and adult Common Whitethroat, Linnets and sparrows.  Nesting Skylarks.   Also managed to make out a Fulmar nest on the black cliffs despite the haze.

Rain stops play

 I counted 290 Med Gulls at Llansantffraed early this morning before rain drove me back to the car. Also; 33 Sandwich Terns and 16 Stonechats. Back in Lampeter, a Great Egret flew south over the Teifi when I was at the car spares shop.

Correcion

 Re: Jerry Moore's post of 13th July.   

Should read   "11 young fledged from 11 successful nests",  not  7 successful nests.
