Bardsey picked up two grey phalaropes and an adult Sabine's gull, with redstart, pied and spotted flycatchers on the island.
North Wales had a fair pick of the action: Balearic shearwaters were seen from the Little Orme, Bull Bay, Point Lynas, Porth Ysgaden and Holy Island; sooty shearwaters from Point of Ayr, Point Lynas, Porth Ysgaden, North Stack and Bardsey Island; two European storm-petrels and a Sabine's gull from Porth Ysgaden.
Other birds on the move were little auk and pomarine skua on Friday, October 3 and a Sabine's gull passed Bardsey last Monday.
