An early morning visit today to Flemingston Moor produced 33 species. Breezy conditions and a much dryer moor than of late with a lot less surface water.

Species seen or heard included a flyover Common Crossbill, 12 Lapwing, 14 Little Egret, 12 Common Gull, 2 Great Black-backed Gull, 3 Grey Heron, 4 Greylag Geese, 20 Fieldfare, 1 Sparrowhawk, 6 Rook and a Stonechat pair.

Sightings on a walk over Sully/Cog Moors earlier this week included a total of 17 Grey Heron present, easily my highest count for East Glamorgan.
