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.

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.

Re: Jerry Moore's post of 13th July.
Should read "11 young fledged from 11 successful nests", not 7 successful nests.
