Another Stunner From Kenfig.Black-Winged Stilt and Whiskered Tern all on the same day at the same place.What more could you ask for.

Some More Of The Kenfig Stilt

Had a quiet word yesterday with the stilt and told it to fly east to Goldcliff Pools for the Bank Holiday Monday.It done what it was told.Perhaps i should of said fly east to the pools and show down to 6ft.

Look At the Legs on That

Went to see the Black-Winged Stilt at Kenfig NR in the week.What a cracking bird it was.Shame the weather wasn't a bit better as there were heavy showers and the light wasn't very good.

LEO

Sunday afternoon i payed a visit and renewed my membership to the WWT Slimbridge.I didn't just go to renew my membership there was a Long-Eared Owl showing well there all day.Just managed to see it for 5 minutes before it lashed down and had to take shelter in the land rover.Nice bird although getting wet.

Acro Loving

Sedge Warblers galore at Uskmouth on Sunday morning and a few Reed Warblers aswell.A Cuckoo was seen but not heard and missed A Marsh Harrier yet again.

Weekday Birder

Might have to change the name of this blog to Weekday Birder because as the evenings are drawing out I've made a few visits after work in the week.I think i will just see how it goes.Couple of pics from Weekday Birder.

Hoodies

Went for a play at the local park(Uskmouth).Had 3 go's on the slide 3 on the cargo net and 1 on the wooden frame.

Spent the next 20 minutes or so pretending to be a lighthouse keeper until a gang of bigger boys threw me down the slide and told me not to play here again or else.So i ran back to the van crying knowing i will never be able to play here again.

Mini Migrant Hotspot

Visited Goldcliff Pools again yesterday evening.Highlights being 2 Whinchat 2 Yellow Wags 20+ White Wags 11 Wheatear and 18 Whimbrel all on the sea wall.Groups of 20-30 Whimbrel going up channel quite a few times.The only other thing different on the pools was a Common Sandpiper.
