Dulas Estuary was a lot quieter last night possibly due to a family of 4 plus 9 dogs alongside the flow of water. Only two birds to add from my last visit were 2 C snipe and a Golden Plover @AngBirdNews

Plus - whilst at Dulas I’d put my Collins on the roof. You know what comes next … drove off like a daft egg. It was my car copy but still. Ah well @AngBirdNews

Another pre breaky visit to Dulas. Nice to see the Stonechat family again. No change from yesterday but I did pick up a Hooded Crow. The lighter grey on the bird seems quite dark so not sure if it was a hybrid that @birdinginasuit has referenced before on this site? @AngBirdNews

A beautiful Anglesey morning. Popped to Dulas en en route to a newspaper. No surprises - Curlew numbers increased since last visit. Off for a swim at Lligwy shortly. 20 Curlew 2 RB Merganser 2 Juv Stonechat 5 Mipit 1 Linnet 7 Shelduck 10 L Egret 7 Swallow 1 House @AngBirdNews

A quick visit to Porth y Mor this morning. Not too much around- a few guillemot plus 3 black a gannet, several oystercatcher and turnstone. The highlight was seeing 70 sandwich terns on the rocks with at least the same number fishing in Dulas Bay. I love Anglesey @AngBirdNews

A very enjoyable 3 hours at Cors Ddyga. Very pleased with my first Wheatear of the year along with 6 stunning White Wags, Marsh Harrier, Golden Plover and a good range of wildfowl @AngBirdNews

My brother and I were really chuffed with a male Redstart at our local patch of Doddington Pool, Wybunbury this morning. The pool was quiet with only 1 Goldeneye left but a build up of Tufties and GC Grebes @CAWOSBirding

Blustery visit to Porth y Mor. Nothing unexpected but very enjoyable nonetheless. 28 PB Brent 4 Guillemot 5 B Guillemot 3 Gannet 4 RT Diver 1 Shag 1 L Egret 7 R Plover 4 Oystercatcher 1 Redshank 4 Turnstone @AngBirdNews
