An early morning ‘stand-in-the-garden-to-see-what-I-see’ in Denbighshire was worth it this morning when a male blackcap turned up, and a mistle thrush camouflaged within branches a while. Vocal blackbirds were busy, chasing, fighting, eating, and a great tit shared a repetitive, splendid song

At last one for the @bto-gbw.bsky.social
I’ve heard goldcrests and seen glimpses in surrounding gardens for aaages, and finally seen here in nextdoor’s tree. They hopped along the garden fence to get to this tree…that’s a GBW ✅ for me 🤗

Fading light over River Clwyd, Rhuddlan.
This time of year is the best time to witness beautiful light, dramatic skies, and silhouettes (I’m obsessed!) 😍

Afon Clwyd yn hyfryd ac arbennig iawn heddiw 🤩

An afternoon walk with @marcbuzzard.bsky.social along River Clwyd, Rhuddlan; long overdue catch up, a good list of birds, and beautiful light.
Easier to repost Marc’s post for bird list! 👆🏼👆🏼

The hare and the pheasant.

Just found this video from Penllyn in 2021. The posing is perfect at the end.

Lots of squealing water rails at Newport Wetlands this morning and amazingly I spotted 2. Here’s one…honest!

Morning trip to RSPB Newport Wetlands, numerous reed buntings, blackbirds, pheasants and 100s of wood pigeon. Quick glimpses of jay and kingfisher.
As usual, the vocal Cetti’s warbler, but I’ve never heard so many squealing water rails across the reserve

Redwing calls caught last night on Merlin, among the bangs and bright lights of the fireworks. Not picked up here, but also tawny owl in the distance.

The annual Sunday morning somewhere-in-Ceredigion walk, the day after the WOS conference. This year, Parc Natur Penglais. Not many on the bird list, but amazing trees and lots of fungi.

Bore braf yn cerdded Penglais, a nath hi ddim glawio!

Thanks for sharing! It would be amazing to have some extra sign ups across Wales! Only 500 gardens currently submitting their records.

Hei Cymru, BTO’s Garden BirdWatch (not RSPB’s GBBW) needs you!
More so if you live in one of the thin slivers below, give it a go-just note the birds that visit your garden throughout the year💚

I love the @birdsinwales.bsky.social conference. The venue, the talks, the food, the stalls, the raffle! All brilliant, da iawn! But I really enjoy the socialising. Break times are scheduled perfectly into the day to catch up, or meet new acquaintances. Annual selfie with BTO’s Gethin Jenkins-Jones!

Light and dark mode. Glorious robins in early morning sunlight and shade

This annual slaughter of Dolphins & Pilot Whales takes place in the Faroes annually, as a 'tradition', know as the Grind. They are set to host the 2027 Island Games. Please sign this petition to stop that hosting unless this needless slaughter ends.

Posts from a fallen down trellis and a photo @dramirkhangp.bsky.social shared ages ago of horizontal bird feeders in his garden is the inspiration behind these feeders I’ve just hung up. Blue tit on it in less than 10 seconds, followed by great tit, then starling minutes later. A resounding success!
