Lots of Birds and Sun on Bardsey

Tuesday 22 April and the news today from the island is that there is lots of sun and lots of birds. In no particular order but Steve mentioned Grasshopper Warblers, lots of Willow Warblers, 137 Wheatears yesterday, Pied Flycatcher, Redstart, Whitethroat, Tree Pipits, Flava Wagtails, White Wagtails, a Tristis Chiffchaff ringed, the first Swift, Great Northern Diver and loads of Manxies (they are probably going out tonight to ring a few of them).

Steve tells me that 130 litres of Paint has been applied to the Observatory since they all returned and it all looks spick and span. Several more weeks are now fully booked (check the Bookings page on the website).
