11 GBC members attended the re-jigged Nash Point [rather than Rhossili] field trip this morning. We walked 7.5 km in a circular walk E along the cliffs round the back of Atlantic College then back across the inland fields. Our luck was in and more or less the first birds we saw were 2 Chough feeding on the grass by the lighthouse. They were some way ahead and they disappeared but whilst we were looking around near where they’d been, they were spotted sitting on the roof of one of the lighthouse buildings just above us, allowing great views – and photos. We logged [edit] 42 species. Other highlights were Red Kite, two famiy groups of Stonechat and some smart juv Whitethroats. A big thanks to all who attended. The Chough were new birds for a recently joined member who only moved to S Wales in May, so that was a big positive. Click here for the list [small pdf file].
