Another week, another Welsh Island, another tick. This time Cretzschmar’s Bunting on Barsdey (went with Daryl Bryant). Great bird (seen well but briefly). Beautiful island. Lovely sunny day.
Waiting for the 7:30 boat over…
On the 7:30 boat over…
The bird…!
Looking out from the island (a lot of the small dots are actually Grey Seals)…
More views of the island…
Had an hour to kill on the island afterwards (we needed to move away to let the next boat load view – the previous boat had to do the same for us). Similar sorts of birds were seen to the Skokholm island trip a few weeks ago, the only additional birds for the year being the numerous Manx Shearwaters seen on the boat over and from the island.
