Anglesey 15-22 July 2019

A few days at Malltraeth, with a view of Snowdon from the front door! (Weather permitting....). Plenty of Choughs at the tip of the Lleyn peninsula, including family parties calling in flight..... seabirds including a few Puffins at South Stack, and the Malltraeth estuary with the adjacent Cors Ddyba RSPB reserve..... Curlew and Redshank on the estuary, with the reedbed at the reserve holding good numbers of Warblers, the best being the long-staying Savi’s Warbler, heard reeling. A male Marsh Harrier also seen hunting. The highlight was a visit to Cemlyn Bay and the Tern colony, predominantly Sandwich Terns with a scattering of Commons. Also heard here the mournful “singing” of Grey Seals, which I have never heard before.
