From Bernie Stevens - Two Glossy Ibis flew across Dowrog common at 4.30 this afternoon in their usual S.E direction. I then managed to catch up with them at 4.55 at the roost site which are the pools
300 m. S.E.of St.Davids tip.
As a matter of interest I've been keeping a close watch on the weather in S.W.Spain over the last 4 months. During this period, high pressure and low rainfall have been dominant. By contrast N.W.europe has had the exact opposite. (Earthworms are nearer the surface in mild ,wet conditions making easy feeding for Ibis) Could this lack of available food in Spain and greater pickings further north be the reason for the Ibis' eruptions here?
