Back to Cemlyn Bay which is just down the road from where we stayed. There are good numbers of terns present but not as many as when last visited the site at the beginning of June 2007. The sandwich terns were absent today but numerous arctic terns and common terns.
A female red-breasted merganser was on the lagoon with 11 juveniles in tow. Other birds included: stonechat (male, juveniles), little egret (single bird), curlew, wheatear, dunlin (c.20 birds on lagoon islands), turnstone (3 on beach), ringed plover (several on beach), redshank (2 on lagoon).
You can view video footage of the terns here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7kJi4YIuSI
Also saw my favourite British mammal today - a brown hare on the headland at Cemlyn Bay at dusk.
