Sker – 18th Oct

An ‘official’ GBC field trip with 13 participants. We walked out to Sker Pt then along the Haul Road to the rivermouth. Highlights were reasonable if distant [for photography] views of the smart Red-backed Shrike that was near the ‘surfers path’ out towards Sker. At Sker Pt were c.200 Golden Plover with a single Grey Plover in with them. 6 Chough were ferretting through livestock poop E of Sker Pt, finding plenty of bugs to eat. At Sker Pt there were also a few Oystercatdher and Turnstone and plenty of Curlew. Out by the rivermouth was dead [3 noisy offroad bikers present]. On the way back we had an unexpected Red-throated Diver just offshore by Kenfig Sands. Just 31 species seen – click here for the list.
