Woke up this morning to find circa 15-20 Willow Warblers in my garden. Mmm looks promising! A conservative estimate from this morning is circa 100+ Willow Warblers between my house and Porthsychan valley. Later this afternoon a walk from Tresinwen round the coast to the lighthouse and back along the road would suggest at least 200 Willow Warblers - they were seemingly in every bush along the coast - many singing. A steady flow of hirundines westwards along the coast all day was I estimate to be in the ratio of 3:2:1 (Sand : Swallow : House). A Grasshopper Warbler reeled briefly just above Seal Bay. Circa 50+ Wheatears along the coast path. Mixed in with the Willow Warblers were a handful of Blackcaps (circa 15-20) and a few Chiffchaffs. (As I write this there are currently 8 Blackcaps (7M, 1F) asleep in the sunny bush just behind my pond!) 1830 - Pied Fly just appeared by the pond in my garden!
