Very much in the last throes of my post-work birding walks for the year now with long shadows right from the off. Quiet out there but still recorded Common Sandpiper, Kestrel, Green Woodpecker and an unusually (for here) large number of Rooks. No hirundines. #birdingWales #patchBirding

Another image from the very showy Goldcrest down at Wiseman’s Bridge over the weekend. A touch of noise reduction and sharpening required but otherwise straight from the camera. #birdingWales #birds #UKWildlife #photography #birdPhotography #birdsoftheworld #wildlifePhotography

Big seas often mean the Grey Seals are forced from their usual haunt out on Worms Head, instead finding refuge in the more sheltered bays around Gower. Storm Amy was no exception with three bottling in Fall Bay. #mammals #photography #nature #wildlife #wildlifePhotography #UKWildlife

There were several Hornets flying around the thin strip of woodland south of Wiseman’s Bridge at the weekend. One very kindly posed allowing me to get my first photos of a species which I’ve only ever seen a handful of times. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky

Thanks VIC. He certainly wasn’t in a hurry to move along.

Nice set Frank. If only it would come that little bit closer.

Just before darkness took complete control a Barn Owl emerged over Llanrhidian Marsh and proceeded to hunt. Later it appeared in front of the car as I drove off, flying above and ahead of me for several seconds before veering away. Absolute magic. #birdingWales
High tide takes the marsh road.

The Pallid Harrier showed on and off this eve between 17:00 and 18:30 when it went down to roost. Nice to see plumage details in the flat light, though photos are awful. 2 Glossy Ibis dropped in behind the sewage works an hour apart. #birdingWales #rareBirdsUK #UKWildlife @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Very pleasantly surprised to first hear and then see this Dipper in full song along the stream through Stepaside yesterday. I hadn’t realised that they sang at this time of year, a welcome chorus during these quieter months. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birdsoftheworld @birdsinwales.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to see the Pallid Harrier on Saturday as well, again quartering Llanrhidian Marsh just before sunset. Too far on that occasion for photos but a relief after dipping the Dowrog bird last winter. Also present a Swallow and pair of Kestrels. #birdingWales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Thank you. Surprised this came out so well considering how dark it was. And you’re right, they never sit still for long!

Enjoyed a walk from Stepaside to Saundersfoot today, hoping for a windblown migrant or two. No luck on that score but plenty of the commoner woodland species seen including this lovely Goldcrest. A flash of gold amidst the undergrowth. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds #birdsOfTheWorld

Really nice views of the Pallid Harrier at dusk tonight, quartering Llanrhidian Marsh before going to roost. Double figure Great White Egrets, a pair of Peregrines, Kingfisher and a/the Glossy Ibis seen on a couple of occasions too. #birdingWales #rareBirdsUK #UKWildlife @birdsinwales.bsky.social

Short video showing how much spray was getting blown back off the crashing waves yesterday. Definitely one of the roughest days I’ve had on Gower, and there have been more than a few over the years! #landscape #photography #nature #skyscape #landscapePhotography #storm #stormHour #photoHour

Storm Amy delivered some massive seas around Gower yesterday. I was very nearly blown off my feet walking from Rhossili to Mewslade. #landscape #photography #nature #skyscape #landscapePhotography #storm #stormHour #photoHour

Good to see a couple of Comma on the wing yesterday, probably my least seen species of butterfly this year. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies
