I was delighted to meet Blair Jones from Gwent at Gann, who decided to visit there after our pelagic trip was canceled due to the weather. This proved to be a wise move, as the dark ages dropped an adult Little Tern to the lagoon in front of us. After making a few circuits around the top end looking for food, it sat on some mud surrounding one of the islands for 5 minutes or so, before flying south down the lagoon. Perhaps it continued because we couldn’t find it again.

| Old Little Tern. Although they breed in small numbers in North Wales, it remains a rare bird in Pembrokeshire. I think this is only my 2nd sighting in 36 years in the county, and this is definitely a new bird for Gann for me. Happy days! |
Also in Gann a 2CY In Gold2 Dunlin6 Ringed Plovera Greenshank and 8 Redshank. I was able to read 3 color-rings at roosting Oystercatcher herd about 60 strong (and using the shingle island at the top of the lagoon).
