Earlier this week, Mandy had been over close to Port Askaig, and down close to the generator station, she heard 2 Goldcrest in the trees nearby as well as some Coal Tits chattering away and also some Robins singing as well....Down at Bridgend, Mandy heard a Mistle Thrush singing there! At home yesterday, Margaret saw a Pied Wagtail on the garden fence. George and Pat Jackson yesterday afternoon had walk along the bottom end of the Big strand seeing a Goldeneye, 40 Golden Plover, 12 Knot, 5 Sanderling, 1 Ringed Plover, a Curlew, a Dunnock in the marram grass and out on the shore, a dead metre long conger eel! Dave today had seen an Iceland Gull down on the Oa.
