Travelled up to Yorkshire with Owen yesterday. Stopped off at the Attenborough reserve for a couple of hours. Cracking place. At Spurn a YBW gave stunning views. And a quick sea watch with good company gave a Sooty Shearwater. 84 species in total.

Beautiful family day at Whiteford Point today. And just about to walk up the hill back to the car park when we noticed a distant Osprey sat on the dead trees. Missed Ed’s Hobby unfortunately though. #BirdingWales

I’m sure me and Kev had the Stej a few years ago Dawn. Looked exactly like all the photos. But it was so far out I didn’t have the confidence to tick it. Good place to go birding though with some friendly birders around.

Cold and wet couple of hours at Fishguard. No sign of WW Tern when we were there. No doubt it’ll turn up once we head for home. Nice flat white in the cafe though.

We had awful weather in August as well Paul. That food looks delicious though. Been a while since I’ve been there.

Took an hour after work this evening viewing this smart looking Red Necked Phalarope that’s been showing well at Lisvane Res and it didn’t disappoint also 2 Grey Phals present. #birdingwales #birds

One of the three Grey Phalaropes at Lisvane/Llanhishen reservoirs this morning. The Phalropes were seen to be occasionally taking to the air and picking off flying insects. #birdingwales
