Report from Steve of Birds yesterday (Saturday 10 May)
1 pair of Garganey
1 Wood Warbler; 1 Lesser Whitethroat; 1 RING-TAILED HEN HARRIER; 1 WHINCHAT (first of year); 2 Tree Pipits; 2 Grasshopper Warblers; 7 Spotted Flycatchers; 40 Sedge Warblers; 10 Blackcaps; 10 Whitethroats; 16 Willow Warblers; 30 Wheatears; 1 Bar-tailed Godwit (ringed); 14 Whimbrel.
Just heard this morning that we have another member of the YHC (YELLOW HELICOPTER CLUB). Angharad Roberts, daughter of Gareth and Miriel at Cwrt Farm, was on the island playing with the children and 'oops, slipped and fell and broke her ankle I am told. The Yellow Helicopter was sent for and off she went to hospital. WE SEND YOU OUR "GET MENDED QUICK" MESSAGE Angharad as we know you are essential, not only to the workings of Cwrt Farm but also to the smooth running of the Observatory and the Island. There will be an important cog missing for a while. (Fancy being called a "cog"!)
BUT NOW ANGHARAD HAS JOINED THAT ELITE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO MADE A TRIP IN THE YELLOW HELICOPTER - WHICH, OF COURSE, INCLUDES BEN PORTER, DOT TYNE AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE OBSERVATORY - (a'hem - thats me, the Bardsey Crier). THREE FAMOUS PEOPLE!
