Tuesday 22nd September,

The first damp day we have seen in a couple of weeks, and it looks like any potential day visitors have thought better of it! However, the last few days on skomer have been glorious if a little quiet, with only about a dozen day visitors each day.

Those that have ventured out here have had the

opportunity to see the most exciting bird of the

year (so far). A Red Backed Shrike was spotted by

Dave Boyle in south valley and has stayed put

for a couple of days. Dave would like to point out the the photo is just a record shot and not one that he will be entering into any competitions!
