The Brown Shrike at St Davids today - a belter and a bit of a show off. Found it whilst driving down to Porthclais to look for Yellow-browed Warblers. First for Wales if accepted. Hope it sticks around. #birdingWales

Trying to reclaim the scrape 'shoreline' at the privately owned John Bennett Nature Reserve began yesterday with Luke Hall. We got off to a great start strimming the reeds but there's plenty to do! If you fancy getting involved please DM me. #WorcsBirds
