Report from Roger Lane.

"Took my first venture out to Par this afternoon. As you say in your blog, very little about, except Canada Geese! However, there was 1 x Tufted Duck (male) preening and sleeping on PBP. There were also 4 x Jays at Par West (wilderness area) searching for acorns where there are no oaks ! There was also a single Stonechat at Par East Cliff (male), not sure if your's was there or not. Usually a pair at Par West dunes and a pair at Par East cliff.
Best of all was a 'pair' of Common(?) Scoter out in Par Bay (possibly the two from Porthpean last week, since they seldom go around in numbers as small as two!). I put the question mark since there is an outside chance they were Velvet Scoters, so far out I couldn't see detail. But it's SO unlikely I think we can assume Common ! Unless Mark picked them up and knows better !"

Thanks for the report Roger.

The Stonechat was showing very well around the West dunes yesterday afternoon.

  1. Not been out yet and had a proper gander so far as been busy at work .. Will try and get out sometime Thurs/Friday. Would be a new tick for me.
