Whilst speaking to Steve on the phone yesterday, young Ben (the infamous twitcher who lives on the island (jealous, jealous, jealous) and takes photographs of all the rare birds he sees just to shame the wardens in front of visitors at the nightly call-over) called in on the radio to report a Turtle Dove on the narrows. Can't remember when I last saw one in this country. Steve tells me that Bardsey gets more Turtle Doves in a year than the whole of Wales does.
Still a few Grasshopper Warblers on the island.
A couple of us are hoping to nip over one day this week to carry out some machinery repair work so will bring back some uptodate photos of the new Wardening Team at the Obs. I might even get one or two good rare bird photos from our young friend Ben to delight your eyes too.
