Deliberately went early to an event today so that I could sit in one of my favourite woodlands for an hour and drink in the sounds of April. Rewarded with my first Pied Flycatcher and Redstart of the year. #BirdingWales

Longevity record is now 25 years and 11 days held by a Chough on Anglesey (and also probably the oldest ringed passerine in Europe!). See 2023 ringing report in @birdsinwales.bsky.social report by @lee00barber.bsky.social.

The colour ringed Red-billed chough in this photo is probably one I ringed as a chick at a site near Mewslade bay on the Gower in 2015.
This photo was taken yesterday at its birth site. And it looks likely that it’s breeding back at this site with an unringed female.

First few days of surveying for the team along the South Gower Cliffs. Lots to see and even some Chough. First nest site confirmed as well!
