    It is predicted to be an incredible year for them. In May they were passing north through Israel and North Cyprus at an estimated rate of up to 3 million per hour. I was at the coast today, and as reported by Dick Squires on the Ceredigion blog, there were 30+ by late afternoon at the Glandyfi viewpoint, + Peacocks, and a Brimstone.
