St Davids Hd am

Great morning to be out and a few birds in, though much the same as recent days. There were 5 Whinchats, a couple of Spotted Flycatchers and a flava Wagtail flew over. Fewer Stonechats today which suggests many of the hordes present recently were migrants but it's hard to tell because there are generally loads about here and it was another very good breeding season. Hirundines were steadily coming in off the sea all morning, probably 1000+ over the morning I would imagine, mostly Swallows. Mipits too were moving, 100+ in total. A couple of Kestrels posed nicely and there was a peculiar Wheatear which made me jump.
