Records from the Pembrokeshire Bird Reports
Rarity, raptor in Black Kite Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 4:49PM
The BTO winter atlas showed that Hen Harriers were present in a third of Pembrokeshire 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.
The darker the colour, the higher the relative total count for each 10km square. The darkest blue represents over 3 birds recorded per day.

Vagrant.
The Red-footed Falcon breeds from E Europe through NC Asia to extreme NW China and southern Siberia. Winters mainly in SW Africa, from Angola, Namibia and N South Africa through Botswana to Zimbabwe and Zambia. Periodically breeds well outside normal range.
Mathew (1894) quoted two occurrences which on the evidence presented were found to be unconvincing by later authorities. The first accepted record therefore was one recorded at Ramsey on the 24th May 1959 by H. Grenville. Further singles were noted at Solva being present from the 6th to the 16th of October 1972; at Skokholm on 27th May 1975 and presumably the same bird at Kete from the 28th to the 31st May 1975; at Skomer from the 8th to the 11th June 1975 and on 20th May 1989; Bosherston on 2nd June 1992; and at Bicton on the 17th June 2006.

Vagrant.
The White-tailed Eagle breeds in SW Greenland, W Iceland; N & C Eurasia S to Greece and Turkey, S Caspian Sea, L Balkash and Manchuria, wintering S to N Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, Pakistan, N India and SE China. 35-44 pairs were nesting in Scotland by 2008 following introduction schemes started in 1975.
An immature was shot on the 2nd of February 1908 by B.Edwards near Whitchurch in Mynydd Preseli. It was reported as a Golden Eagle in “The Cardigan and Tivy-side Advertiser”. However on the 13th June 1928 B. Lloyd and C. Oldham were able to inspect the specimen and identify it as a White-tailed Eagle.
A 2nd or 3rd winter bird was seen at Skomer on the 10th and 11th November 1993 which departed along the line of the southern shore of St Bride’s Bay but was not seen again.
The 1908 bird must have been an immigrant as none were then breeding in the UK. The 1993 bird may also have been an immigrant but could have come from the Scottish population.
