    There are others in North Wales but the two nests (the RSPB one and the Wildlife trust one) get all the attention.

    I was at Asda yesterday attempting to watch gulls but it was bloody freezing. Stood there for about and hour and a half then gave up. three Kites kept flushing everything which didn't help! Got an iceland gull and a 1st winter Yellow-legged Gull and something else which could have been a Caspian...

    No mention of the current MAGA which has taken up residence in the lovely county of Gwent. Stuck an awful picture on my blog. Will post some other pictures from this weekend over next few days.

    Anyone know if there's any gulls roosting at Garnlydan at present?? If so it probably really worth a look for any white winged gulls!

    Gwent birding

    given that I am currently in Gwent and nobodies posted anything here for over a month I thought i'd better post. The only birding I've done is at Steves garden where on one visit I saw 7 Redpolls, a few siskin plus your usual garden stuff. Second visit today produced more flyover redpolls plus...

    just wondering if anyones been out to look for Short-eared Owl? We've had quite a lot down here and there were loads arriving in off the sea in the east of the UK earlier in the autumn. I've noticed a couple of sightings in brecknock so I guess there's a good chance there are some in gwent...

    Just noticed this. Have you told Andy King?? Wrynecks are a very rare bird in powys so worth making sure the record goes in. It probably been quite a long time since there's been on a powys.

    I remember several times standing at Garnlydan in the rain waiting for a tern or two. was rewarded a couple of times with Black terns but they haven't really starting coming through yet. Did you see the pics of Common terns i posted last month on here?

    2 Common Tern at Parc Bryn Bach this lunchtime. Probably came in during that bad weather. Also just so everyone knows. I have ringed several Canada Goose at Bryn Bach so if you see a ringed goose if could be one of mine. Worth reading the numbers if you can but run it by me before submitting...

    Had a stroll around Parc nant y wain this morning. nice selection of flowers though the weather wasn't good for any insects wanting to feed on them. Only butterfly seen was a large skipper and only moth was a Burnet Companion. Bird highlights was a singing male Whitethroat and three large juv...

    good to hear that Dingy Skipper are still at Rhyd y blew. Has anyone gone to see if Grasshopper Warblers are present again this year?? Not sure they were recorded in 2010 but I had 2 reeling birds in 2009. Well worth checking out on a calm evening. Snipe should also be drumming at that time of...

    I remember finding a pair of curlews nr Trefil back in 2009, so they are still about in the vacinity. As mike said, the habo up there is deteriorating, a good burn would make a big difference.

    curlews were breeding up until a few years ago. John Avon always goes looking every season.

    keep those siskin there a few more weeks. hopefully coming up to Cymru mid march for a few days. hoping to do a load of long eared owl surveying and catch tons of siskins. Won't be a bad few days if i pull both those off!

    good to see Steve Williams checking up on Waunafon where he saw two Short-eared Owls the other evening. Wonder how many will birds will appear there this winter?
