At Freshwater West this morning 32 Grey Plover on the rocks with a few Turnstone and Dunlin.
There seem to be a lot of Snipe around at present - 20 in one field in St Florence.
Yesterday on the return leg of a Cetacean survey with Sea Trust on the Ferry there were 9 Black Guillemots in Rosslare Harbour - 4 of them well on the way to summer plumage. Also there 2 Med Gulls. Plenty of Auks most of the way across - mainly Guillemots with a few Razorbills and, unexpectedly, a Puffin quite near to Strumble.
9 Brents flew past heading west when we an hour or so out from Fishguard - I wonder if our Brents commute back and forth across the Irish Sea?
8 or so Gannets seen altogether which did a great job in circling over and giving away the position of two large pods of Common Dolphins - 200+ altogether, an amazing number for January.
