Info Post
Teifi;-
Some typical mid June counts, 2 Dunlin, 34 Oystercatchers, 23 Curlew, 25 Black- headed Gulls all roosting along the Pembs side. The well grown 4 juvenile Shelduck still doing well but no other young? 250 Canada Geese.
The highlight of week-end ringing. a very old Reed Warbler, see Teifi Ringing Group for more, and details of Puffin ringing on Skokholm.

Thoughts (Strumblings with Adrian);-
Is this Reed Warbler's longevity success due to it being a pioneer of a new migration strategy?
Is it wintering somewhere closer? Some European Blackcap wintering patterns have changed in our lifetime..are other species adapting too?
