I was on the castle this morning, idly wondering what would be the next addition to my year list, when a 1st w Kittiwake came flying along the prom, passing by so close that I thought it was going to join me in the shelter.
Later, a movement on the ground brought my attention to a fem/imm Black Redstart, which shuffled past just a few feet away, completely ignoring me.
I started the day with a Kingfisher, posing nicely on a branch over Plas Crug ditch, before heading for the coast.
Not a lot offshore; just four Red-throated Divers, a Common Scoter, a Curlew and three more Kittiwakes among a light passage of Common Gulls. A Peregrine was perched on Consti.
As I was about to leave, Simon came along and told me about a Redpoll in a garden near the gap.
