Angle Peninsula
Great 10 mile walk round the peninsula early this morning, clockwise from war memorial above Fresh West. A scattering of whimbrels on the move all round the peninsula - several singles, 3 on West Angle beach, 5 on a field on the N side, 1 in Angle Bay. Wheatears - nothing to compare with St Davids area but about 24 inc. small groups on the move and a few more settled looking pairs. 7 species of warbler singing - whitethroats (lots), 1 lesser singing in blackthorn north of W Angle Bay, gropper, sedges, chiff chaffs, willow and blackcap. The only absentees were the garden warblers normally present on the N side - they were also not yet at their usual location on the Colby Estate yesterday (near the ruined Little Craig y borion farmhouse, on the bridle path).First orange tips yesterday in my garden. St Mark's flies bang on time this year - lots of them at Bosherston last Thursday (the black ones with the dangly undercarriages), loads today.
