On a hot, sunny morning Jill and I noticed that the numbers of Razorbills and Guillemots on the cliff ledges looked very similar to breeding season totals. There were even several Kittewakes on their old nests.
Near Birds' Rock there was a Painted Lady Butterfly. I note what Jerry Moore wrote about such early sightings but when migrating they are often seen at the coast and so wondered if indeed this one was an early migrant.
Given that on 17th we were watching a Swallow and Red-rumped Swallow on the Gower (soon joined by another Swallow and a Sand Martin) anything seems possible during this amazing spell of weather.
