Superb seawatching off Rhos Point, Conwy today - highlight for me were a superb drake Surf Scoter, 2 Long-tailed Skua, Pom Skua, Sabine’s Gull, Little Gull, 2 Little Tern, 13 Arctic Skua, 23 Manxy, 400+ Common Scoter, 22 Red-th Diver. Great to catch up with local birders too☺️👍
Back from a great week in Norfolk for Alice's birthday. The usual suspects kept us busy, with Bearded Tits, Spoonbills, Cattle Egrets, Hobby and more. A sprinkle of migrants included my first Siberian Stonechat, and good views of six Yellow-browed Warblers - Alice's bogey bird!
Brilliant display of #orchids at @RSPBConwy at the moment, including some beautiful white variant chlorantha amongst the hundreds of Bee Orchids. Lots of Southern Marsh, and a few Early Marsh and Pyramidal too. #WildflowerHour#OrchidChallenge
Duck spotting at a very still and atmospheric Llyn Cefni. Plenty of wildfowl on the water, including this smart drake Goldeneye displaying to a female in the late morning sun.
Birding in the winter sun on Anglesey today. 2 Peregrine & a f. Scaup at Cors Ddyga. Great wader selection feeding with the Brents on the Inland Sea. Goldeneye and a f. Common Scoter too. 4 Slav. Grebes in Beddmanarch Bay. @AngBirdNews
