I manged to piece together the ring number for this Cirl Bunting that's been at West Bex for at least a week now. Almost instant feedback from the BTO. It was a nestling, ringed on the coast in Devon about 7km east of Wembury. That’s just over 100km away direct… quite a movement for a non-migrant.

Mixed flock of Starlings and approx 70 Fieldfares near to the old orchard today. From Cwrt Yr Ala Rd near Michaelston-le-Pit VoG #birdingWales

Smart male Gadwall on my WeBS this morning at the Salmon Leaps in Michaelston-le-Pit #birdingWales

Good to see this Marsh Tit on the patch this morning. Only 2 records from 2024. Cwrt Yr Ala Rd just west of Cardiff.

Handful of Fieldfare this morning where my first for a few weeks. Looking on the EuroBirdPortal website still looks like most birds are in Finland and Sweden compared to the same time last year. #UKBirding #SuffolkBirds

We're delighted to share that we have been selected as a FINALIST by the Dorset Tourism Awards in the Experience of the Year category!

Today’s star bird from the patch just west of Cardiff. First record here since January 2021. #birdingWales

This is F:250. Ringed on Flatholm as a chick in 2015 and still going strong. In Cardiff today but spotted near Oldham in 2020.

Forget where I found this, so apologies… but I like it too much not to share #birds

51 Fieldfares on my local patch just to the west of Cardiff today. Count of 21 on November 15th last year #birdingWales
