25th February


A surprisingly nice day with lighter winds and some bright spells; first stop in the morning was Penrhos Coastal Park where an adult Mediterranean Gull on the beach by the carpark was the highlight before a scan of some floodwater along the A5 at Valley produced 4 Black-tailed Godwits and 35 Shoveler along with plenty of Oystercatchers, Redshanks, Wigeon etc.   A look at the mouth of the River Alaw (spotted from across the water at Penrhos as a likely site!) then produced an adult male Peregrine which missed a Bar-tailed Godwit out over the water by inches and a good total of 205 Pale-bellied Brent Geese.   A random drive around was then highlighted by another adult Mediterranean Gull in fields by Trearddur Bay and a smart adult male Sparrowhawk at Roscolyn Bay.
