Griswold’s UK Birding List 2022 (2 Viewers)

[Owene]

It’s very skulky and was seen across quite a big area of essentially identical wood.

Had a tooth out in the week which also required a couple of stitches- which was nice. Decided the best medicine was a morning’s birding.

Headed up to Slimbridge. Far too busy for my taste but nice to pass my year list record with a great view of the Pratincole and some ropey Barnacle Geese.

228. Collared Pratincole
229. Barnacle Goose.

Celebrating with some absolutely delicious (and easy to eat👍) Lancashire blue cheese.

Didn’t realise that was a lifer when I read your other post. Congratulations. They’re great birds. Did you try the cafe?

Cheers Owen. Didn’t get to try the cafe. Headed straight back to the cottage to fishing with my youngest.

Finally managed to get out of the house today. Took it easy with a short walk at Llyn Llech Owain. Good numbers of common birds but also a Willow Tit visiting the feeders.

Good to get a year tick on the final day. Dipped on this species several times already this year.

234. Yellow-Browed Warbler

The long staying individual at Kenfig Pool. Good company in the hide as well - Sean from Glynneath and Dave from Treorchy.

The usual for me Owen. Parkend at first light. Then Cannop and will head down to the Somerset Levels. A full day out.

How about yourself?

That sounds great. Sarah has a Samaritans shift 6-9 and wants a new years sea swim so definitely not a full day but hopefully will fit in Cosmeston
