It was good to reconnect with a willow tit (assuming same individual) from two years ago at this site (Cynon valley S.Wales) I’m hoping there’s a pair but I fear this is the last one here. It was quickly moved along by a GT. do pairs stick close together in January? #willowtit #glambirds

Pentyrch ,Cardiff garden busier today, by late afternoon 14+ Blackbirds in the small garden and hedges feeding on apples and seed. Numbers probably higher due to breaking of pond providing water, in short supply locally? House sparrows stripping the Tamarisk branches regularly of late. #glambirds

Location of Firecrest.
Only seen briefly from below without bins (all the excuses) but pretty darn sure I had a Firecrest between Cardiff Museum and the city centre today (see pin below, feeding in canopy of tree by bus stop). #glambirds #glambirding #urbanbirding

My patch, where I hope every year to see/hear my big 3.
2 out of 3 will do for me today.
Redstarts and Wheatears, male and female. No cuckoo calling - might’ve left it too late.

The 4 Dotterel showed well at a chilly Cefn Cadlan early Monday #glambirds
Helped a chap down off the hill who was severely struggling walking. I can’t remember his name though it may (or may not) be Steve. He was a lead south west wales birder. Was 70, Cardiff & recently widowed. Anyone know him?

A very blustery day at Sker today but plenty of birds around and very active. Highlights included a Yellow Wagtail, at least 8 Wheatear and a few White Wagtail. @birdsinwales #birdingWales @eastglambto.bsky.social #glambirds

A male Eurasian Kestrel warming himself up after a cold night as the sun rises over the disused barn at Sker Farm, Glamorgan, Wales. The female of the pair was also seen but wasn't as co-operative #Birds #ukbirding #raptors #Wales #Glambirds

Finally caught up with the black redstart at Crofty. Lovely little bird and seems quite at home on the dung heap #BlackRedstart #GlamBirds #GowerBirds #BirdingWales #UKBirding

High key image of a large flock of tufted ducks floating on water.
Highlights of a short visit to #CardiffBay wetland this afternoon included a chilly kingfisher, a couple of hundred frozen tufties, a smattering of shivering little grebes, a few pairs of icy goosanders, a frigid heron and lots of splashing black headed gulls. 🥶 #glambirds #birdingwales

Whilst the black throated diver frustrates by staying in the middle of Llanishen reservoir, the female ring necked duck pleases by staying close to the visitor centre on Lisvane reservoir #glambirds #birdinginwales

Nice to see the Black throated diver still on Llanishen reservoir on New Year’s Day. It was only competing with 2 hardy swimmers today😬. #glambirds

A beautiful evening yesterday on Gower was brightened even more by this stunning Golden O. One very active individual, but I didn’t manage to get any sight of the second bird. #GoldenOriole #glambirds #Gower #birds
