Dipped on dipper and short eared owl but overall great birding
Well done on so many lifers, i too was in wales for the last week, based in Manabier, I tried to get onto skomer too, but we were turned away, for the 2nd year running.
I was also lucky enough to see 3 Whimbrel coming in off the sea on 31/05, at my favorite birding place: Stackpole Head, and i was also lucky enough to see a small flock of waders ( 2 Turnstone, Sanderling, Ringed plover and 11 Dunlin on the estury at Lawrenny ( one of my favorite estury spots)) on the 1/06, after seeing a cracking male White Wag in the carpark at carew while checking out the tidal Pool there.
SEO was also one of my target birds is we got over to Skomer, but i did see one on the mainland a few years ago..
Did you see anything of the Kite movement??
