The kittiwakes are back… not sure when they arrived. Had one med gull too and what I think was a small flock of purple sandpipers.

Meditteranean gull… nice surprise when walking the dog… never seen them closer than west cross before..

Stonechat, linnet, reed bunting, meadow pipit, skylark, willow warbler, blackcap, whitethroat, sedge warbler (heard).

Had good views of Sparrowhawk over the park. Heard Green amd Greater spotted Woodpecker.

This is a question as a post… can someone tell me where the lapwing area is as i want to try and track down the snow bunting but not aure where to look. Thanks Hannah

Grey wagtail, Goldcrest and Long Tailed Tits.

Astonished to have just witnessed a sparrowhawk grab a starling from a tree in my garden…

Grey Wagtail, Goldcrest, long tailed tit and coal tit obliged this morning. Heard Nuthatch and Greater spotted Woodpecker…. had a male black cap feeding in my garden in brynmill.

City centre – redwings seem flying over and a peregrine by the BT tower…. in Brynmill grey wagtail on roof tops.

Finally caught up with the wryneck; it was showing really well; also saw a pained lady butterfly there. Also spotted a greenshank at ogmore.

Could not find the Wryneck this evening. Had a wheatear a spotted fly and several fly pasts of a peregrine and a pair of stonechats… with a gorgeous sunset and moon rise…

A beautiful morning gave rise to Dipper, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Goldcrest, Blackcap, Chiff Chaff and Willow Warbler.

Lots of activity tonight had Whitethroat, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiff chaff, Cettis, Bullfinch a few Swallows and a Swift… and a stunning sunset!

Flock of 50 + Brent Geese on the beach this evening.

Grey wagtail feeding on the stream.

 

I was astonished to see a black redstart hovering around my bird feeder yesterday morning… it flitted onto roof tops and then lost it… hopefully it will be back. A first for the garden….
