From Jeremy Moore: The report of a sparrowhawk from Whales in Wales reminded me to send in
my own sightings from my day in Pembs (22/6) . Firstly a
female sparrowhawk above Pwll Deri (not far from the YHA). It was very
close and was carrying a small prey item, presumably a passerine with
its wings removed? It was heading east around the north side of Garn
Fawr. I can’t imagine where the nearest nesting site would be. Then
another sprrowhawk heading west along the coast between Porthgain and
Ynys Barry. Families of choughs were near there (4 young) and near
Porthgain (3 young). I also saw the sand martin colony at Aber Mawr,
which looked quite healthy.
