Snow Bunting ..& ...nr. Porthgain

Who says Atlas work is boring !!
Went to SM 73W this afternoon - it's on Annie & Bob's list of Tetrads with no records and must have just about the smallest land mass of any Tetrad in Pembs.
(it's the very western end of the headland that is immediately to the north of Traeth Llyfn, Yns Barry nr. Porthgain)

It produced :- 1 smart male Snow Bunting, a very confiding female Black Redstart plus a pair of Chough with a supporting cast of 2 Rock Pipits, 32 Wigeon on the sea, a male Goldeneye plus the usual chorus of gulls, Auks and Cormorant sp. a total of 14 species for about a 1/4 acre of dry land!
Then on the way back to the car at Abereiddy - a juvenile Merlin on a fence-post 30 metres away !
