New Quay Birds Rock

 A blustery but enjoyable two hour cetacean survey from Birds Rock look-out this morning, where one harbour porpoise was seen.  

Bird highlights included a peregrine, 2 fulmar, 4 gannets  and a pair of acrobatic chough.  There were a few auks on the sea, plus a raven, smart male stonechat, and my first swallow of the year. 

Chiff chaff have been singing in Alltlwyd woods (between Llanon, and Llanrhystud) since Sunday 19th, and I heard my first Willow Warbler yesterday in the grounds of Plas Gwyn residential home - earlier than usual.
