Decided on a solo trip to Goldcliff yesterday afternoon. Tide was out but first lagoon was productive with c.50 Avocets, including a pair mating at one point. Also present c.20 Redshank and a single Spotted Redshank, c.20 Lapwing with some apparently incubating, 6 Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew. There were many Shoveler and Teal and I noted a single drake Wigeon and a Gadwall and 20 Shelduck. Other spp worthy of mention comprised a pair of Stonechat, singing Cetti’s Wblr & LInnets.
On Sunday I noted a Treecreeper in Alexandra Park in Penarth, and a couple of Turnstones along the R. Ely embankment.
