1st winter white-winged gull from the barrage at 09:00 for 15-20 minutes mostly well offshore but finally came in close enough to get some very poor photos. Size-wise appeared smaller than nearby Herring Gull and the profile when sat on the sea suggests Iceland. Primaries appeared paler than rest of wings, despite the appearance here. Any thoughts? Also adult Med Gull
Of 31 kittiwakes around the pier, 22 were sitting on the artificial ledges this morning.
Also 24 Med gulls at Bracelet, 2 female eider flew into the bay (these appear to roost offshore / maybe on the outer head), and shags at Bracelet, the Outer Head and Rams Tor.
1 little egret around the islands on Roath Park Lake this morning.
Lisvane: 1 yellow-legged gull, 53 tufties, 6 pochard, 8 GC grebes, 4 little grebes, 10 mallard, 16 Canadas, 4 coots.
Llanishen: 10 teal, 3 snipe, 1F pochard, 9 Canadas, 13 mallards, 1 moorhen, 7 tufties, 10 coots.
Bittern reported seen crossing a cutting in front of the southern hide and an otter on show out in the lake for over 2 hours today.
Bearded Tit calling in CBWR at 10.45am and 2 showed very briefly at 11.00am flying into the reeds opposite the dipping pond (with Steve Strutt).
Fem Black Redstart catching flies on the sea-facing rocks in the outer harbour at 12.40-12.55pm and on the adjacent cliff face; last seen perched on the green railings at the top of the cliff.
