Great to see today that the Starling numbers are building up at RSPB Conwy. #birdingwales #ukbirding

Great to get some better views of the Great Orme Shorelark which was re-found today. Thanks again to the finder Pete Alderson. #birdingwales #ukbirding @birdsinwales.bsky.social

It's always special to see the first Purple Sandpiper of the Winter. Today at Rhos Point there was just the one. #birdingwales #ukbirding #northwales

Lovely to see a splendid male Goldeneye today at RSPB Conwy (although abit distant). There's been two female Goldeneye hanging around for about a week who were probably pleased as well. Don't see too many of these at Conwy. #birdingwales

It was great to see the Lesser Yellowlegs today on the Inland Sea, Ynys Môn. Thanks to @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social and Ruth for the directions. Two Great Northern Divers and a Slavonian grebe at Beddmanarch Bay also.

Seawatching at Rhos Point on Thursday: plenty of Gannet moving through (video slowed down).

Today, rather quiet EXCEPT for one miraculous Leach's Petrel - the first moment, literally, I looked through my scope, there it was 😀 but no footage sadly.... #birdingWales #NorthWales

Some more footage of the White Rumped Sandpiper from Malltraeth. It was meant to be wintering in Patagonia: many of our Welsh forefathers in the 1800s also made a perilous, long migration there. Their journey was successful, let's hope it makes a successful journey too ... #birdingwales #ukbirding

It was wonderful to get the chance to see the juvenile White-Rumped Sandpiper at Malltraeth Cob pool, Ynys Môn today. Thanks to the skilled original finder.

Pleased to spot a lively Jack Snipe today at RSPB Conwy from the Foel Fras screen. It turns out another one was being watched at the same time from the Carneddau hide. Videos don't do it justice as it was quite distant and in poor light. #birdingwales

It has been a very good Autumn for Curlew Sandpiper across Wales and beyond, so it was great to find one this week in the high tide roost at RSPB Conwy. #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Another of the five stunning Ruff from last Sunday at RSPB Cors Ddyga, Ynys Môn. #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social

One of five stunning Ruff at RSPB Cors Ddyga, Ynys Môn on Sunday. (Slowed down) @birdsinwales.bsky.social #birdingwales

Was very pleased to find a (distant) Black Tern at Rhos Point yesterday. Much gratitude to @marcbuzzard.bsky.social who responded swiftly to my request for ID help! 😃 Also 2 Little Terns, Common & at least one Arctic juv amid 80+ Sandwich terns. 5 Tern sp! #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Just a gorgeous Spotted Redshank chilling out at RSPB Conwy this week. It's a regular sighting but I always feel better for seeing it! @birdsinwales.bsky.social #birdingWales

It's been such a treat to spend time with the two juvenile Curlew Sandpipers at RSPB Conwy over the last few days. When you are en-route from the Arctic heading towards Africa a few 'spa' days are a must 😃 #birdingWales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Managed to see the two juvenile Curlew Sandpipers at RSPB Conwy again yesterday and they kindly came abit closer this time. Also a lovely Spotted Redshank hung around with the Redshank and a few Black Tailed Godwits, from the Tal y Fan hide. Click onto video for full view #birdingWales

Lovely to see this gorgeous Wood Sandpiper at RSPB Conwy today (video shows it being photo-bombed by a Common Sandpiper). A flying visit 😃 again but saw 12 Greenshank and a Peregrine causing mayhem. A Little Stint present but I didn't see that sadly. Click video for full size #birdingWales

Nice to see good numbers of juveniles in a flock of around 150 Sandwich Terns at Rhos Point yesterday. #birdingWales #NorthWales (click onto video for full view)
