A Black Redstart was on the broken drystone walls above the cliffs at Southerndown, where five Choughs (including the ringed pair) were also present. Earlier a Water Rail was at the pond at Dunraven, with the unusual sight of a Great Crested Grebe circling overhead several times, before heading off towards Ogmore at cliff top height. What was presumably the same grebe was pootling around Ogmore rivermouth shortly after. The numbers of Great Crested Grebes in the Ogmore area recently has been unprecedented; I’ve no idea of the explanation for this.
