May Highlights

Star billing went to the Iberian Chiff Chaff, a first for Wales, that sang it's little heart out from 10th onwards in Wentwood Forest. Elsewhere, 2 Dotterel at Cefn Cadlan provided great photo opportunities and unlike Garreg Llwyd, there was no need to walk too far from the car! Talking of walking, Highlander was rewarded for the long walk out to Whiteford Point with a cracking male Kentish Plover. Unfortunately (or should that be fortunately) it was a one tide bird, so most of us were saved the dreaded hike out there!
