27th April


A bright and sunny start but with a light frost and a cutting easterly breeze; the day’s highlight came early on with great views of a very early BEE-EATER which flew low over the Labyrinth and past the lighthouse and away.   There was very little on the sea but a few birds in the nets included the earliest ever Lista Wood Warbler, 3 Blackcaps and a Chiffchaff.
                The afternoon didn’t live up to the couple of good birds of the morning with a walk round the coast producing 2 Whimbrel again, 160+ Swallows, 15+ Sand Martins and 4 House Martins while Golden Plover increased again to 105 and a Wryneck was singing in Lebeltet.
