Sadly not Fishguard, but seen in Rosslaire Harbour last week whilst doing Sea Trust ferry survey. These were two of 12 tysties we could see, though there are probably 15 pairs or so most years, breeding in crevices amongst the harbour walls. Interestingly there was plenty of courting behaviour going on despite the frigidity of the weather! Apart for a couple of weeks post the breeding season, they are usually about, often in pairs interacting comunally. All very different from the prospecting ones in Fishguard, it will be interesting to see if and how the colonisation progresses.
Definately in Pembrokeshire last night, the Starling Roost viewed from an area besides Goddards Knackers yard with trusty local guide Jack Donovan was impressive. At one point at least four buzzards were trying to snatch speckled titbits from amongst the whirling throngs!
