Hi,
Thought you'd be interested in a a sighting today - about 5.35 p.m. - of a solitary ring ouzel just outside Lower Fishgaurd on the road to Newport. It was close to the first farm house on the left after leaving Lower Fishguard.
Best wishes,
John Ramm
From John O'Sullivan. Spent the weekend in St Dogmaels.
Visited Cameas Head sat am, Around 60 Common Scoter South (in a variety of small flocks) an adult and a first year Med Gull south plus two peregrines stooping at a few of the passing/feeding Manxies. The smallest sparrowhawk I've ever seen (imm) was sat on a gorse bush at the tip of the headland whilst a female Goshawk tried to land on a fence post I was literally stood next to. I had been waiting quietly for a few minutes for a warbler that had gone into one of the bushes along the bridal path behind the house Cnwcau and presumably the Gos had no idea I was there. I had very good views of an imm female here two weeks ago and am assuming this was the same bird. Spent a few minutes at the moorings at high tide but had forgotten my scope so couldn't I.D. the two swall waders across the estuary. One was feeding very actively and looked like a new arrival. There were also four common sands across the estuary from the Ferry inn and four little egrets. Went over to Strumble Sunday 6-30-8 a.m. a massive feeding flock of Gannets/Manxies/Kittiwakes/Auksacross the horizon along with porpoises and common dolphins was offshore to begin with but the only bird of note this pulled in was a Sooty Shear that I didn't get onto (no scope didn't help). Only two single common scoter south plus one small wader and one barwit sized wader south appeared to be on the move.
