It doesn't come much better than this -
Pencarnan 06:45. Sun on the horizon, not a cloud in the sky and the air is still. 5 Groppers reeling as we walk along the camp track. S E O hunting on Trefeiddan Moor.
Back on camp 3 chittering Whimbrels pass overhead and there's a Whitethroat in the bush, and in the horse field are 8 Wheatear and 2 alba whites.
Breakfast.
Walk out to, and around, Carn Llidi, male and female Merlin near the Head (fantastic) and not too far away a darty. Below, on Porth Lleuog beach, a Common Sandpiper feeds on the strandline and more Whimbrel are close by resting up on the rocks.
Back on camp there is now a Blackcap in the bush and it's almost time for a glass of red, pitta and dips, but not before finding a Whinchat in the horse field competing with the Wheatears for flies.
And from the caravan, as the sun sets into the sea, Manx shear their way towards the Islands as S E O floats over the gorse.
Does it get any better than this in Pembs? If so, blogg it, and tell all of us about it.
