Spotshank

Spotshank on the pools this morning, 3 or more green sands 1 common sand 1 greenshank and a shed load of snipe.

GWE AT CWP PIT 95

Pit 95 didn't appear on the map i had but i think its quite old anyway.Spotted a few cars parked up with various bird stickers on them so i knew i was in the right place.Walked through a nettle patch about half a mile long got stung about 300 times but soon found a clearing to start viewing.No sign at all for about 2 hours and was just about to head back when i had one last scan and got it.Very distant and the heat haze was terrible but still a tick.Also about 4-5 hobby's hunting over the pit all morning.

Wood sand

Nipped in to goldcliff pools this evening to see if i could pick up the wood sand that was reported this morning. 3 green sands 1 greenshank and 3 redstarts also present.

Med Again

After visiting goldcliff lagoons and not seeing much(a few swift being the Highlight) i popped in to bettws high school to check the gulls.6 Herring 4 LBB 39 BH gulls and this one below.

A Few Feral Friends

A few feral friends at the local flooded field this evening.Haven't visited here as often as i would like but on the few occasions i have i get the feeling that something of interest will pop in.
Also present this evening 83 Canada geese 16 lapwing and 2 snipe.

Not Much Doing

Pretty quiet this weekend with just a couple of moths and butterflies to id.Got no ideas what these few are.Had a look on the Internet at some moth sites but with millions of moths to go through i gave up.

Any moth and butterfly experts out there.

News came out of this little gem at the Gower this afternoon.Two of us headed straight down at 6pm after work,and after some marvelous directions over the phone we were guide straight in and could see it from the car.
We did get out of the car and had cracking views down to about 50 foot from a right little show off.
