Green Woodpecker heard near St Donats, also Peregrine flying west. Back nearer to Llantwit, 6 or so Swallows also flying west. Have not seen the regular lone Wheatear there for a few days now. Met a couple who had seen “Alpine Crows” with red beaks near to Nash Point last year.
Alpine Crows lol! Now they they really were Alpine Choughs as opposed to the usual …..
Thanks John – so how often are Choughs seen this far east please?
Hi Andrew – we have resident Coughs along the Heritage Coast and they are usually seen around the Nash Point area and along to Cwm Nash, and have been seen as far west as Southerndown or even Ogmore. Basically they wander up and down the Heritage Coast stretch and occasionally breed.
Thank you I will certainly keep my eyes skinned – another unexpected bonus of moving here from Lincolnshire. Best wishes Andrew
