This trip to Dale Fort on the Pembrokshire Coast was the goal after treatment. The intention being to spend a day on Skomer Island. This never happened but the one day we did get proved to be a good day. The main thing being I made it there and back.
The best bird was GLOSSY IBIS which for us all gave good views. Three birds in all put in a good appearance and not to distant as is often the case. Also RAVEN and nest site with the associate CHOUGH. Still a remarkable bird to watch although over the years I have been spoilt by these birds. I suppose if it is about anything it is about migrational movement that captivates anyone who goes to such a place as we where able to pick up on WHIMBRAL in plus 20 numbers one single GREENSHANK and for me and Jonathan a pair of SANDWICH TERNS. other birds on view were. RAZORBILL, GUILLEMOT. FULMER, MANX SHEARWATER, STONECHAT, WHEATEAR, REED BUNTING, CHIFFCHAFF,
We also had good view of Grey Seal and Badger set on cliff face. As for traveling up there and back more than 30 COMMON BUZZARD and 15 KITE. Plus a HOBBY as we came into Suffolk, evidently the first for the county for the year.
