Over to Caldicot then back into a headwind and driving rain. Few birds of note but there’s a reasonable amount of standing water on Caldicot Moor, might be worth scoping every now and then over the coming weeks. #gwentbirding #lowcarbonbirding #birdingbybike

Up the canal to Cwmcarn in the rain. Pair of Goosander, lots of Chiffchaff and the odd Blackcap were the sum of it. #moist #gwentbirding #birdingbybike #lowcarbonbirding
