Back in Ceredigion

Yes, true. After 18 months in Jameston, not far from beautiful Manorbier,  we have moved to Cross Inn. Pleased to have real birds on feeder, including coal tits and nuthatch. 

We did not see GGS in Cross Inn forest today but did see a male hen harrier, great spotted woodpecker and a pair of stonechats. 

My favourite Pembrokeshire sighting, in a season when swifts were hardly seen, was a movement  of at least 52 swifts - doubtless some from Ceredigion-   passing through from 1.50 to 2.30 at Gupton Farm (Freshwater West). I wondered what triggers such mass movements and migrations.
