Skokholm

This is a bit of a late post as i managed to get out to the island on 14th.

Greeting us at South Haven were two overwintering Whimbrel again. this has been a regular feature for some years now.
On the island around 40 Teal and a few Mallard but the ponds were remarkably quiet. A couple of Chough, a Buzzard and a Peregrine patrolling and ather few passerines - just a few Blackbirds (which could be resident), three song thrush and a reed bunting noted. About 50 LBB's and 30 HG's hanging about in a flock and a lot of GBB's looking as though they were already occupying territories.
