Just to say i also saw a wheatear on the beach at Tanybwlch yesterday with all its greenland colours, presumably the same one seen by john davis. it does seem quite late for summer visitors to still be around although there were plenty of insects on the beach yesterday! the greenland birds seem to have quite a different seasonal migration to our birds which are long gone and could be back as early as february whereas the bird i saw yesterday may not return to its breeding grounds till may/june. Also on and around the beach were 16 Turnstone, 2 Grey Wagtail, at least 25 Meadow Pipit and 2 Rock Pipits. Still waiting on the first Purple Sandpiper to return.......
