A fairly quiet week and still no female unfortunately. We see our male most days but in strong winds he tends to not frequent the nest, choosing instead to shelter on the north side of the estuary where he can see the nest (and any passing females!) but out of the full force of the winds. We live in hope however - the female didn't turn up until June last year so hopefully she's on her way. Wishful thinking? who knows, but we've all been amazed by wildlife before.
Still no signs on the nightjars but it can't be long now - hopefully the change in the weather forecast for the next few days will facilitate their arrival. Still lots of birds on the Cors Dyfi reserve with many whimbrel choosing to stop over on their long northern migration for a refuelling stop.
