New Quay Head Thurs 07.00- 09.00

Much quieter than Weds, but still produced 1 Leach's Petrel, 1 Arctic Skua (ad pale phase), 1 Black Tern, 1 Red-throated Diver and c.6 Common Scotors (...and the one GC grebe!).
Arfon & Russell then headed down to Strumble (which somewhat outclassed us - see Pembs blog). Sadly, I had to go back to work in Aber!

A very brief stop at Llanon produced c.50 Med gulls with the 150(ish) Black-heads - not time for a fuller count but always nice to see.
