Great to see a Merlin on Rhossili Down this morning. Also 2 Snipe and a Wren. Lots of ice, but warm in the sunshine. Snow on the other side of the estuary for the last 2 days but none here.

Exciting times, in between the showers this morning, on a sodden Rhossili Down. A female/imm Hen Harrier and a wet Buzzard and then, on the trudge back, a male Hen Harrier. Never been happier in the rain!

Very breezy walk up to the trig point on Rhossili Down this morning enlivened by a confiding Snow Bunting, looking a bit out of place really. Also 2 Chough, Buzzard, Skylark and Snipe.

Walk on #Rhossili Down this a. m. in rare bit of sunshine. 22 species seen, 'best' being, Raven, Grey Wagtail, 3 pairs of canoodling Chough (one with yellow ring on left leg) &, best ever count for me on the Down, 37 Lapwing, hidden somewhere between sheep & rock in photo #gowerbirds #birdingwales.
