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?
