Oxwich Point

A great northern diver just west of the point (wouldn’t be visible from the bay), actively foraging close inshore. The bird called repeatedly for a short time at about 13:00 – which in the calm conditions could be heard for quite some distance – really nice. Also 35 curlew in permanent pasture above the point, a Dartford warbler, 3 porpoise, 3 shag, and a count of 427 common scoter (very distant and would have been best viewed from the cliffs near Pennard or the tor at Nicholaston). Didn’t have a good enough view of the inshore waters of the bay to look for RT Diver or grebes.

  1. Hi Mike, he is fine – although I don’t see him often. Still living in Newton, surfing at Langland and drinking at the Rock & fountain. Will say hello from you as will probably see him around Christmas. cheers, Owain
