Just a few distant Gannets, Manx Shearwaters and Kittiwakes offshore, though there was a close Guillemot on the sea. As there were no Purple Sandpipers on the wall I went down to the harbour, to find 14 on the rocks by the wooden jetty.
And so to Tanybwlch. A few Swallows had begun to move through as I was leaving the harbour and this passage continued. The final total was about 55, among which I picked out one Sand Martin and one House Martin.
On the beach were 16 Oystercatchers, four Turnstones, two Ringed Plovers and a Whimbrel, plus a Common Sandpiper on the Ystwyth near the sheds.
A very smart male Wheatear and a party of nine Linnets near the harbour were the pick of the passerines.
