Spot The Creeper

If you squint it may be possible to see the nice new shiny ring on its leg.

Short-Toed Treecreeper

Had to just do it.

Swiftastic

A Quiet walk around Saltmarsh lane in search of migrants started off slowly but picked up pace when a lone Swift flew through making me think did i actually just see that.I rattled off a few record shots. Now at the time i got enough on it to put Alpine swift straight in the bin.So given the date either a mega early Common or maybe a Pallid.Most probably a mega early Common but with the rubbish record shots looking into the hazy sun we may never no,unless it gets picked up again giving better views.

Batfink

Had this flying around near my house this evening.Any Ideas of which species?

Gwent Please

Please could we have one of these in Gwent.On the wet field would  be my preferred spot but anywhere would do.

Another one of these showing well at Llandegfedd would also be nice.

Sprung

A quick look at the wet field in Caerleon this evening produced 1 LRP.

Scotland

A family wedding in Scotland last week meant that i could spend a few mornings out in the Highlands.A nice selection of birds were seen.The best were Golden Eagle,Ptarmigan,Black Grouse,Parrot Crossbill,Crested Tit,Snow Bunting and huge flocks of Pinkfeet.

Great Grey

Great Grey still at Wentwood this morning.Lots of white in that tail??

Movement

Spotted this over the house this morning.Made a Call to another birder as he needed it for his garden list,Smiles all round.
