A real pea-souper in Cardiff Bay today, which disorientated some birds: a Redshank where they don't usually go; ditto a Skylark. 2 male Blackcaps & 3 Black redstarts now around the southern side of the Bay, though I only saw 1 female & the male B redstart (award-winning photo of it!). #birdingWales
