Seawatch Bonanza.

Headed down to the Golden Cliffs this morning where it all kicked off within 15 minutes of peeping through my scope.Totals were 1 Guillemot, 11 Gannets, 76 Manx Shearwaters, 3 Arctic Skuas and 12 auks Sp during the morning.Then dipped on a Little Tern at Goldcliff Pools found by Darryl(see www.gwentbirding.blogspot.com)
and the Black Stork wasn't relocated in Glamorgan this afternoon.Lets hope it settles somewhere easily twitchable or even better in Gwent.

Old Boots New Blisters

Took the old boots out to Norfolk for an airing yesterday but after 21 hours out i came home with these two beauties.

Not a bad selection of birds tho with the highlights being Golden Oriole,Stone Curlew,Shorelark,Temmincks Stint and Red Necked Phalarope.

Fifty Quid Finch

A nice day was spent over on Lundy for theTrumpeter Finch.The Trump was showing well at Halfway Wall near enough all day.A few Puffins were also nice and a couple of Spot Flys in Millcombe Valley rounded off a nice day.

Gwent Tick

Headed up to Chepstow first thing this morning after last nights posting on the Gos Site.Didnt really have much hope..Had a scan around the town centre but no joy.Then a twitter message came through of an Osprey flying up river past Severn Beach.Headed to Newhouse Ind Est as the view is not bad of the Severn from there.Got out of the van and had a scan and then the Stork flew in from the Mathern Area and landed on one of the Lamp Post.Had a few minutes viewing and made all the necessary phone calls when it decide to get up and fly low East.Spent another hour or so trying to find it but gave up and headed home.If you look closely it looks injured under its bill.Come on lets all get twitter and follow each other you never Know what you might find.
