Eight species of wader present inc 10 Knot, single Whimbrel and Common Sandpiper. Also about were 2 Whinchats, 6 White Wagtails and a couple of Wheatears.
I saw 11 Sandwich Terns and a Red-throated Diver at Llansantffraed this morning, all flying south.
A wonderful looking shrike was a total shock at Llanrhystud early this morning on an otherwise chilly and relatively birdless visit. Between the car park and kilns. Showing very well and still present at the moment I believe.
Good numbers of migrants in with grasshopper, reed and sedge warblers new in today along with redstart. Good numbers of of pied flycatcher in too. Also on the reserve today were several great egrets, osprey and 4 marsh harriers.

It was a delightful morning today at Salem with some new migrants in - willow Warblers, blackcaps, redstarts and a pied flycatcher. Also seen was a fieldfate, to my surprise. I found another new red kite nest, which makes a total of five so far this year, although several of those will have been existing pairs ,"relocating"
