Drift migrants from the east included a Wryneck at Cemlyn (16th- 19th) and a Barred Warbler at Cors Ddyga (18th), which together took the cumulative year list to date up to 221. A Turtle Dove near Pencarreg, Cemlyn (16th) was just the 2nd for the year. With the arrival of Yellow-browed Warblers on the east coast of the UK, there will be hopes that one can be added to the Anglesey year list in the not too distant future.
