A tour up north

Grey Phalarope still at Newgale this morning (what a relief - we usually turn up for things the day after they depart) with a lot of Snipe flying around. Also good to see the beautiful Whoopers.
Lovely to get such close views of the Dippers at Lower Town, Fishguard, and two Red Throated Divers plus several seals in the harbour.
Plenty of Starlings at Plumstone Mountain - several minutes of aerial displays then they just started to pile directly into the trees. There were 5 Buzzards hovering into the wind above the trees looking as though they were wondering how to get their claws into a Starling - maybe they had seen the pictures of the demise of the Cornish phalarope!
