Good numbers of Marsh Frits at Nant y Crimp SSSI this morning.

Chuffed to have found a colony of Marsh Frittilaries today in my local patch near Pontardulais.

Lovely walk along the Cilsan - Dryslwyn cycle path this morning. Lots of Blackcaps and at least 4 Garden Warblers. Nice to have them both singing together, enabling comparison of their songs. 2 LRP on the sand banks as well, plus 7 Goosander on the river.

Happy to hear a Grasshopper Warbler reeling clearly on my local walk in Pontlliw this evening. First time in my patch.

A 7- goose day today. Started with Tundra Bean, Barnacle, Greylag and Canada at Dryslwyn, then White-fronted and Pink-footed at Penclawdd and rounded of with Brent at Crofty. Not too shabby

A six goose day today, all in the Dryslwyn area, Tundra Bean (lifer), Pink-footed, Barnacle, Greylag, White-fronted and Canada.

A very good morning's birding at Castell Ddu, below the M4 bridge at Pontardulais, just after high tide. Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Redshank, Ruff and a juvenile Peregrine that came along and spoilt the party.

Managed to get in on the action at Aberavon this afternoon, 6 Sabine's Gull and 3 Grey Phalarope. Wonderful views.

A juvenile Peregrine demolishing a Black-tailed Godwit at Loughor foreshore this morning.

Three Glossy Ibis at Castell Ddu at the moment.

Excellent dragonfly morning at Maesteg pools this morning. Good numbers of Common Hawker, Black Darter, Keeled Skimmer, Common Darter and Emerald Damsels.

One of several Couded Yellows seen at West Williamston NR this morning. Sadly no Brown Hairstreaks.

Clouded Yellow butterfly beside Llanrhidian Marsh road this afternoon. Sadly it didn't stay still long enough for a photo.

Great White Egret from hide below Dynefwr Castle, Llandeilo this morning.

White-letter Hairstreak at Carmel Woods this morning. Specimen a bit tatty, but I'm pretty sure the ID is correct. Sadly no Silver-washed Frittilaries.

A lovely male Yellowhammer (nfy) over the top from Bryn Bach Rd, Pontlliw this morning.

15 Common Sandpipers and 5 LRP at Castell Ddu, at high water this morning.

A few Lesser Horseshoe bats in the tower at Llanfeugan Church near Brecon.

A good day at Kidwelly today. Plus super views of a male Hen Harrier.

Happy to have this little fellow visiting my Pontlliw garden today.
