Pectoral sandpiper at WWT Llanelli this morning. It was nice to see the new black headed gull colony.

A little gull was unexpected at Kenfig yesterday afternoon. Always very distant so I only managed a single heavily cropped image that was any use.

A very pleasant hour on the boardwalk at RSPB Dinas yesterday watching pied fly nestbuilding. I then had a birding first for me after decades of birding. A tawny owl called at 2.00pm in bright sunshine. I do not rely on my ears anymore but the Merlin App confirmed as did my wife.

At least 7 purple sandpipers on the rocks at Porthcawl high tide this morning. Photo 4 purps plus turnstone

Newton Bay yesterday. 2 golden plovers. Only 4 miles away Sker has 500+. Also good views of a shag.

A quiet morning doing my WeBS at Pitcot Pond St Brides Major was brightened by my first ever stonechat at the site.

The Green Sandpiper showed well from WWT Llanelli Boardwalk Hide this afternoon.

@KenBarn90989771 Cheers Ken. Only my second sighting of sabines. The first was 30 miles out on Cartellet Lady.

[Steve Rosser @steverosser4]

I was a bit late to the sabines in Jacksons Pier but was rewarded by the best birding experience in a long while.

3 spotted flycatchers at Southerndown this morning found by David Ripley.

[Steve Rosser @steverosser4]

A pleasant 1/2 hour with the med gulls on Porthcawl Seafront this afternoon.

@npaulroberts Thanks Paul

@cranky1456 There was a record count of puffin on Skomer this year. I think we saw most of them from the boat so there was plenty of choice.

[Steve Rosser @steverosser4]

Got my annual puffin fix yesterday. Too crocked for Skomer steps so I went on a 1 1/2 hour cruise from Martins Haven. Cool on the water.

@cgittins54 Hi Col. I had a very pleasant couple of hours at Ham Common lookout on Thursday 12th. No special birds. The evening before on a boat trip had 2 WTE marsh harrier and an osprey in the chanel in front of the lookout.

[Steve Rosser @steverosser4]

Last week in Dorset. WTE, common tern, sandwich tern with sand eel for juvie and a corn bunting
