Myself, Emma and Holly found this beast of a Glaucous on the beach at Broughton between 1100 and 1130 this morning. It flew to Twlc Point where it alighted. We did not see it on this afternoon’s rising tide, but of course it could still be there.

Forgot to say we had a steady trickle of 30+ Swallows migrating westwards over the burrows this afternoon. Later on at Landimore we encountered 2 Great White Egret, one of which flew right over us! Both headed towards their favoured spot at Llanrhidian. No sign of reported Hoopoe, but hopefully Chris Brewer had better luck than us!
I guess the age is debatable, but possible unresolvable given the variation these birds show. Really nice find all the same of a bird I’m gradually giving hope hope of seeing on my patch this year. Still can’t believe they award 2 points each for Whimbrel and Sandwich Tern, but only 1 for Pink-foot!
