18/10/25 Monthly Public Birdwalk

Welc0me to 13 folk on the Kenfig walk on Saturday morning, good to see new faces and old friends.

We were pleased to see or hear 44 species between us, on a long walk – for me anyway!- of at least 5 1/2 miles! A visit to the hide gave us great views of c300 Canada Geese and Greylag arriving and a Sparrowhawk upsetting all the Gulls. We then visited Colin And Wayne ringing birds – they were packing up because it had become too breezy, but were happy to report that they’d ringed their 2000th bird- before crossing the dunes to the windy coast. Dave Carrington found a Brambling with a flock of Siskin, too far for most to spot. At Sker Point c300 Golden Plover were displaying for us , a Wheatear was seen by most folk.

Many thanks to Dave Carrington for leading, and other folk for sharing knowledge and scopes.
