Another visit to view the Brown Shrike at St David’s, stunner of a bird and great views #walesbirding #birds
A bit quieter than hoped for at Kenfig Pool this morning as although very humid the thunderstorms passed us by. The pick of the bunch were four Common Sandpipers that dropped in to join this one that was photographed there yesterday. Grey Wagtail & five Eurasian Wigeon also noted #walesBirding
The female-type Garganey showed well Lisvane Reservoir this morning dribbling, shovelling with its crossed wings #walesbirding
The 2nd calendar year Arctic Tern hanging on at Llanishen Reservoir yesterday evening #glambirds #walesbirding
Lisvane Reservoir today - chilled out Emperor, plenty of Tufty young, Black-tailed Skimmers and a Hornet mimic hoverfly enjoying the Hemp-agrimony. #Odonata #WalesBirding
Goldcliff Lagoons today, not much water left but lots of good birds. Lovely pair of hunting Kestrel, Wood Sandpiper, Yellow Wagtail, Little Ringed Plover, Great White Egret. #WalesBirding
the chick just would not shut up & the parent grebe abandoned its attempted snooze, bringing back 2 small fish in quick succession. And still the chick squeaked on. These Great crested grebe parents are so incredibly patient, and hardworking! #WalesBirding
The Great crested grebe parent brought its demanding offspring an eel, bashing it against the water to try to subdue it. The chick gobbled it down but the eel wasn't giving up that easily & wriggled back out again. It was 5 minutes before the eel was eventually swallowed. But ... #WalesBirding
A new bird for the garden list this morning as Manx shearwaters headed down the Bristol Channel, apparently in their hundreds, but I was just happy to see a few passing closer to shore. Thanks to @graham7777777.bsky.social for the heads up. :-) #WalesBirding
'My' crows have a kid! I thought they might be having a second try last time I visited as the male & female came separately for food, & they were taking food in to the woods rather than caching it in the field. (Kid left, mum right in the pics. Dad was at my feet, too close for a pic.) #WalesBirding
I was able to catch up with the male osprey at Llangorse lake in the afternoon- made a great “Osprey day” #walesbirding
3 adult ospreys at TalyBont plus chick #walesbirding
Ashlands Pond: tufted ducks with chicks... #walesbirding
