Just been to see the " Verwig" Cardigan White Stork..
The bird has a (likely 4) alpha numeric code on a yellow darvic ring... this ring is on the left tibia..
I don't know the " previous " White Stork details - but my initial quick look at cr birding suggests this bird was ringed in continental Europe..
Lots of birds were back up in the forestry plantations after the emptiness of winter inc a fair number of Siskins and 6 Crossbills. On the way home I called in at Pant pool where there were 2 Great and 2 Little Egrets and also a couple of male Tufties.
Marsh Harrier and Peregrine were at the south end of Cors Caron this morning.

An Osprey flew north over Gwbert Road, Cardigan at 8am this morning ( Malcolm Price)
The drake American Wigeon is still with the Teifi Eurasian Wigeon flock. At high tide this morning it was close in off the Coronation Drive railings, Gwbert.
My second Wheatear, giving brief but decent views from the Domen Las hide today.

Birdwise the highlight was probably a group of ten ruff below the Ynys Feurig hide, which I overlooked for some time amongst all the redshank. Singing chiffchaffs and a blackcap. It was glorious sitting in the sun outside the visitor centre with a cup of coffee, made even better by the sight of several brimstone butterflies. Also seen a common sand below the Domen Las hide and several sightings of a "cream crown " marsh harrier, probably more than one, the last of which was as it circled higher and higher over the Saltmarsh and drifted to wards the coast.

I was wondering if anyone has noticed that Great Tits seem to be singing less. Normally by now I would expect them to be quite vocal.
First Chiffchaff and Blackcap yesterday.
