Caspian Gull, 1w, Rhymney Estuary, Cardiff, found during WeBs count this morning. Attached digiscope video clip, admittedly not the best. Bird was seen well in flight and stood amongst Herring Gulls

Couldn't turn down an opportunity to watch Sabine's Gulls giving a superb performance up close at Jackstones Pier, Aberavon.

Difficult to drag myself away from the Phalarope bonanza at Llanishen & Lisvane Res in the past week. Red-necked and a Grey confiding, as ever, in this morning's dreary weather.

Just about to head home after birding Peterstone Wentlooge when news of Broad-billed Sandpiper at Goldcliff broke. Attached screenshot taken from shaky digiscope effort for the record.

While Black-throated Diver and Ring-necked Duck are the current main birding attractions at Llanishen & Lisvane Res, this striking leucistic Black-headed Gull in front of the visitor centre was equally eye-catching today

Birding & tea-drinking marathon on patch at Llanishen & Lisvane Res today. Female Ring-necked Duck still present but highlight was brief visit of a Grey Phalarope. Flew in at 1pm, alighted on Llanishen Res, then promptly departed.
