First nest building chough today. This is a week later than in 2009, but it just looks like being a slow start and nothing more sinister. All 8 pairs have been in attendance at their nest sites, feeding and displaying but none have looked interested in the serious business of nesting until now. Both male and female were taking in twigs to their rock crevice site on the west coast.
Couple of sand martins skimming along the coast into a stiff wind this afternoon and two more male wheatears on the stonewalls at Aber Mawr. Lone seal pup on Porth Lleuog beach is filling out nicely and the cow has been very attentive despite the rough seas conditions.
