@GmusicV @BirdGuides We spent a good chunk of the visit in the car, during a spectacular hail and thunder storm. But I don’t think it lasted long enough to draw anything in afterwards. Good luck if you’re there today.

@sevans1032 Looks like the wag is hitching a ride in that third shot 😁

Finally saw my bogey bird yesterday after years of hearing but never seeing one. Walking the slopes of the Blorenge, I watched a GS woody in flight, then suddenly in the distance there it was - Cuckoo! And not just fleeting but good views for several mins #birds #birdingWales

Lovely morning and company with GOS at Goytre woods and canal. Year ticks for Stock Dove (heard), Spotted Fly & Tree Creeper + the usual woodland mix. #birds #birdingWales

A fab day yesterday on the Blorenge and around the Nant Llanelen with @ahop305; Wheatear, Willow warbler, Tree Pip, Redstart, Pied Fly.
Then 3 of the 4 Dotterel at Cwm Cadlan, Penderyn today. Thank you @rhosvw and others for location #birds #birdingWales

Hello fellow birders. Would anyone fancy conducting this year’s @BBS_birds in my square in Llancillo (10 mins drive from Abergavenny). It’s a lovely two transects with farmland, woodland and river. I’m unable to due to illness. Happy to chat more if you’re interested

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

@Stephen36307455 Lovely montage 👍

Big Garden Birdwatch complete. Average garden numbers this morning but good to see this part of the uk comparing favourably with the national average.

@dawn_mission Yes, very sad indeed. Such a legend.

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

@MarburyBirds Beautiful Bullfinch image. Such a shy bird and always a pleasure to spot.

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

A lovely (if very cold!) afternoon with @ahop305 along the estuary south of Aust. A single brief Shortie sighting (which I missed!) but a dozen or so other ticks for the new year.

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

Beautiful morning on the Blaenavon moors. No Short-eared Owl but pairs of Stonechat and Bullfinch were a delight @GOS_birds #birds

@mattthesparrow @jpparadise242 Thanks Matt. Have found you on Bluesky. I’ll still be on Twitter for now but trying to migrate to BS as fed up of all the trash that appears on my Twitter feed now. Think many others feel the same.

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

@GmusicV Fantastic shots Gavin. I’ve seen a Hoopoe once in silhouette, in fight for a few seconds. So appreciate how happy you must feel. 👍

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

@ecology_cymru @RSPBNewport Such a shame. It could be so much better. Missed opportunity.

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

Great work by @RSPBLeightonM
I do miss it there. Contrast this with the management of @RSPBNewport by @NatResWales - viewing screen (to the right of info board in pic from this week) completely overgrown! How hard is it to trim back and install a few trays?

[Deb @Deebs_birding]

Only my 2nd Little Owl and made us work for it!

We were scanning for Little Owl, when eagle-eyed @Deebs_birding spotted movement behind a low branch some 80m away. After a period of playing peekaboo, the owl revealed itself before flying into denser cover. #RSPBNewportWetlands #birdphotography #birdsoftwitter #owl
