All change

When I left home soon after midday in the pouring rain it was definitely winter but half an hour later when I got to Llanrhystud in the warm sunshine, most definitely spring. White Wagtails, Wheatears and Med Gulls still about but no waders apart from 2 Whimbrel. Both had green rings on their right legs I think. One had orange on the left also and the other yellow on the left. Other birds inc Gannets, Shearwaters and 2 Shelducks. Approx 100 Swallows flew north over an hour or so, and heading that way also was a 1stW Iceland Gull.
