late sightings on 6/2/14 there were a pair of goosander (M+F) a Sparrowhawk and the usual corvids

on 8/2/14 goosander in flight, and to my amazement in this bird battling the strong winds and struggling to fly we came across a lovely Dipper, also got pictures of him resting on the rocks catching his breath other than that, thats it 

 

8/2/14 – Gnoll main pond we came across 30+ Mallards, 6 Coots, 3 Moorhen 50+ Jackdaws 3 Carrions 2 Greylag Geece 1 Bar Headed Goose, 12 Magpies, 6 Collared Doves, 5 Woodpigeon 3 Mistle Thrush 2 Robins 4 Tufted Ducks 1 Female Goldeneye (got pictures) and a possibility of 2 more Male Goldeneye but hard to tell as it was getting dark.

bit of a late posting but i went for my walk to behinind BP and intertissue on my way i say about 10 – 12 Stonechat altogether, kestrel, bob the buzzard, 3 little egrets one on the flood and 2 on the river, along with redshank, curlew on intertissue field, starlings, mixed gulls, corvids and by the little spot off bushes by bp there were a good few wrens around,song thrushes, blackbirds, about 6 Long Tailed Tits, a few bluetits and Great tits too and the highlight of the day a very noisy water rail i was quite shocked at this but what a lovely bird and its my first time actually seeing one properly, still couldnt get a picture of it though dashed into high grassy reeds and wouldnt come out

other than that a good days watch and i have got some faint images of the stonechat.

i went for a wonder today in the BP by aberavon and during my time there was was a massive flock of golfinch around 74  -78 birds eating the nijar seed bushes as i went towards the back of the BP i noticed some strange noises when i looked i saw about 7 – 8 bigish birds land on a pylon and when i looked i knew they were a Thrush not finch lol, of some kind but i couldnt tell whether it was a fieldfare or mistle thrush, thy made a discintive noise which i hope can be picked up on my video

location:  (couldnt get the SS code)
