    Inspired by Phil on a local WhatsApp group the pup and I went out this evening. Went to his usual dog walking field where we had seen signs of our target earlier in the year. And sure enough we soon picked out a Woodcock. Very happy. 223. Woodcock

    Some very heavy showers today. Inbetween I took the pup up the Gnoll. 3 Goosander in total and a female Red-crested Pochard even I wouldn’t tick🤔😂 Though I might have done so in previous years. Down at Llanrhidian marsh I used the bus as a shelter from the rain. And when the rain stopped I was...

    I can also recommend the Glamorgan sausage and egg roll (with brown sauce) at Roadhouse Whitland. Delicious. And an Emira in black also looked well smart.

    Down to Pembrokeshire with Rob and Owen today. An excellent morning’s birding with great company. First we stopped off at the Gann. Shaun from Glynneath was already there. And being a proper good fella he walked back with us to where the Plover was. Amazing how well this blended into the...

    Absolutely gorgeous day on the Somerset levels today. Parked up at Sharpham Lane and got chatting to a few birders from Bath, South Bristol and Abergavenny. All of us waiting for the same bird. After about 40 minutes a fisherman walked along the path and put up our target bird. Been waiting a...

    Ducked down to Kidwelly with the pup today. Really pleased with his behaviour. Great with all the other dogs which were off the lead and sat quietly by me whilst I scanned for birds. Good to bump into Alannah again as well. 217. Grey Phalarope

    Brilliant day out with Bud and OH today. Started with a sausage and bacon roll from my favourite greasy spoon outside Llangadog and is now ending with sharing a bag of Roast Beef Monster Munch Giants with Bud. Inbetween we saw Ospreys North of Aberystwyth and at Tregaron were heaps of...

    Local garage doing it on Monday KB. It’s really in an awkward place so was quite pleased with £390. It’s probably what the car is worth but it’s generally so reliable it’s worth having it done.

    Yeah I think so. I think the alternator is c£200. Not sure about fitting though.

    Fingers crossed Julie. The car is not worth anything but to be fair, it’s been amazingly reliable. The first time in 16years it’s left us stranded.

    Cracking day out in Pembs with Rob and Nerys yesterday. Walked around the Gann and the Deer Park. Finished off with an evening boat trip around Skomer - £28 p/person and well worth it. Great views of Chough at the deer park and distant views of all of Skomer’s seabirds. From the boat though we...

    Afternoon out with my old man today. Headed to Gwenffrwd Dinas. Busy in Llandovery- didn’t realise the Eisteddfod was on. The reserve itself was stunning. Quite a few birds singing despite the time of the day. Ended up with great views of Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts and a Spotted...
