Lots of birds moving overhead at St. Govan's Hd this am!
A real bonus was a juv American Golden Plover which flew south over the headland at 08.47. Came through right over my head, calling constantly! Then watched until it was just a dot out over the sea. Awesome!

I dropped into the valley at St Govan's and soon had brief views of a very bright bird! I remained patient (and hopefully) and walked round the side of the scrub to get shelter from the wind. A bird flicking in the bracket caught my attention....

25 Twite with Linnets near Flint Castle today. 3 colour-ringed birds seen each with a pink ring over a mental ring on the right leg. Just couldn't get a good view of the left legs as they were so flighty! Anyone know if that's enough detail to link them to a particular project?

Apply now! I can't recommend this job enough for someone making a start in the ecology and conservation field. Spending the summer working to protect the Beacon Ponds' Little Terns was really rewarding and brilliant fun! Spurn is an amazing place. So many memories!

Wiseman's Bridge this afternoon when the rain had finally eased. Conditions not great but a fine Black-throated Diver paddling its way east very close in was quite a surprise! The usual Scoters, Grebes and Mergansers offshore in choppy seas, but no sign of Lt Ducks
