18th May

Bit of a jaunt round Anglesey today which didn’t produce anything unexpected but good views of many of the specialities with a couple of pairs of Chough at South Stack while there was a steady stream of Manx Shearwaters offshore with the cliffs seemingly packed full of Guillemots and Razorbills.   The island in Cemlyn Bay was then full of Sandwich Terns, Arctic Terns and Common Terns with at least 6 Mediterranean Gulls with the Black-heads (including a pair of adults seemingly already settled down, a pair of 2nd summers looking interested and a 1st summer getting bullied by the others) a few displaying Red-breasted Mergansers on the lagoon and a couple of Sanderling with Dunlin and Ringed Plovers.
