Mini Migrant Fall

Done the pools,Saltmarsh Grasslands and the east end of Uskmouth this Morning.Highlights being a small fall of Chiffs 50+ and 2 Willow Warblers,most of the birds on the Grasslands.The Pools held 2 Ruff 2 Spotted Redshank and a Greenshank.3 Golden Plover were the best on the foreshore.In the afternoon i went looking for Ring Ouzel after a tip off.Still about but very flighty.

Quite Weekend

Very quiet weekend was had.Watched all three rugby matches on Saturday and the Bird highlights were three Wheatears at the Sluice Farm on Sunday.

Where Are They

No sign of any Migrants for me this weekend.The best birds being two Mandarin flying out of Green Pool at Llandegfedd Res.

Nearly Forgot

Did pay a visit to Cosmeston after the Bonaparte's last week.

Weekdays

A weekday trip to Dorset produced the Bufflehead at Langton Herring,Great Northern Diver,Black Throated diver,Black Necked Grebe and Eider at Portland Harbour and the Black Brant at Littlesea on the Fleet.Nice!

Gulls

Made a visit down to the bay for the returning Bonaparte's Gull.It was a little bit distant and flew off to the bay.Also a Herring gull with ring Evm which was coloured ringed at Gloucester Landfill site as a retrap.Waiting for original ringing details from Bto.

Finally Made It

Finally made it up to Gigrin Farm yesterday for the black kite.Did expect a Shuttle bus down to the hides after paying four Great British Pounds but no such luck and we had to walk.Managed to connect with the Kite before the feeding started.Quite surprised to see some of the hides were £15 and £20 to get in.All in all a good day.

The Really Wild Show

Barnacle at Boat Lane and Emperor at Llandegfedd.Signs of spring today with Wheatear,Sand Martin and Little Ringed Plover being seen down south.
