Mad dash home from work to catch up with the Woodchat Shrike that was showing well at Pembrey Burrows this evening. #birdingwales #birdsseenin2026 #birds

The Great Bustards were still displaying and strutting around Salisbury Plain, the Male would get up and chase another off every now and then. The reintroductions not to everyone’s taste but great to see and watch and glad they’re doing well. #birdsseenin2026 #birds
