Med Gulls & Marsh Harrier
Nice walk earlier with 6 Mediterranean Gulls near the boatyard at Ynys Tachwedd, single Marsh Harrier along the Leri embankment at 8.10am.
3 Cetti's Warblers calling along the Leri with numerous Redshanks and 4 Shelduck on the golf course near the caravan park.

Migrants near Salem
This morning I had a pair of pied flycatchers in woodland near Salem, with the female visiting a nesting hole. Also nearby was a blackcap. There were a number of swallows around some farm buildings where they regularly nest. Most of my local red kites seem to be sitting already. ....

Long Wood (part of) and Llanfair Road (Llanfair Clydogau)
A two hour walk. Considerable numbers of Chiffchaffs, 46 compared to just 17 five years ago. No doubt this has much to do with significant ongoing habitat changes at Long Wood but there do seem to be a lot about this year it seems to me. Other interesting sightings included a Greenfinch, Dipper and a pair of Goosanders.

Cors caron
Just heard from Will Davies that he and Arfon had a Short-eared Owl Marsh Harrier and a Grasshopper Warbler on Cors Caron today and Arfon also had a Willow Tit.
P.S. A note from Arfon" also four Little Ringed 0lovers.
Borth
There were at least 50 Manx shearwaters, 20 gannets and several Sandwich terns feeding very close inshore off Borth this aftern. With a brisk NE wind whipping up plenty of white water this may have been an underestimate as visibility was not great in the strong glare of the sun.
