1990 Dyfed Strumble Head, 6th September (P.Bristow, G.H.Rees et al.).
1997 Pembrokeshire Strumble Head, 5th September (C.Benson, R.H.Davies, G.H.Rees). Mainland sightings are still very rare: the Pembrokeshire record is the third from that headland, but, in Britain, St Ives, Cornwall, leads the way with seven.
1998 Pembrokeshire Strumble Head, 11th September (C.Greyall, G.H.Rees et al.).
2000 At sea Sea area Lundy, 51°31’N 05°41’W; about 41 km WSW of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, two, 6th August, photo. (D.J.Astins, J.Bennett et al.).

BBRC in Wilson's Petrel Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 8:15PM Vagrant
Wilson's Petrel is an Antarctic bird which visits the north Atlantic outside its breeding season (Cramp 1977). One seen from the Rosslare to Fishguard ferry, a few kilometres off Strumble Head, on 12 September 1980 (B.A.E. Marr, W.E. Oddie) was only the fourth record in British waters this century. Singles were then seen at Strumble Head on 3 September 1986 (R.H. Davies, G.H. Rees, G.J. Walker) and 6 September 1990 (P. Bristow, R.H. Davies, G.H. Rees et al.). All occurred after south-west gales and as recent pelagic trips have shown that Wilson's Petrels are regular in the south-west approaches of the British Isles in the late summer (Colston et al. 1991) it is likely others will be seen in Pembrokeshire when suitable weather conditions and season coincide.
