Great Orme - 19/3/11

A bleak and windy morning on the Orme today. Two White Wagtails in the sheep fields were best along with at least 7 'alba' wagtails flying west. 20+ Siskins flew through including a flock of 12. A single Stock Dove was the only other migrant of note. Chough and Peregrine too.

    Yeah, it was pretty bleak when I went up there yesterday, didn't even get a wheatear. A few siskins and an overflying golden plover the best.

    I always find at Cemlyn the Pied Wags move through just before the White Wags.

    You're right Steve. Pied Wags have been on the move since the beginning of the month with up to ten on some mornings. It looks as though a few White's have arrived this weekend with birds at Conwy aRSPB and Llanfair sewerage works.
