So far we have had the three Glossy Ibis at Marloes and the two at St Davids. I have also received a report today of a single bird in the Walwyns Castle area.
Having received a tip off from Richard Ellis of a flock of 20 or more birds (!) flying over near Carew a couple of days ago which he thought were Ibis I joined him this afternoon feeling a little sceptical. However, at 17:01 I was astounded when 23 Glossy Ibis appeared flying near to Carew Cheriton Church heading roughly ESE to WSW. They passed over quickly pretty close and disappeared in the direction of Milton and the Carew River beyond. Clearly they were off to roost but where do they spend the day! 23 must be some sort of record!
Hopefully they will stick to the same roost flightpath. Map below shows where we observed from "A" - the stub road which is off the Carew roundabout. The white line is the rough flight line of the birds. Apologies for the photos - not one of my better efforts. Well done Richard Ellis.
