October Highlights

Find of the month went to Richard Smith with 2 Penduline Tits at Cardiff Bay Wetland Reserve on 14th October. The first since the long staying birds at Kenfig Pool during the winter of 96/97. Unfortunately for Glamorgan's newer listers they didn't hang around although they may well have been heard over subsequent days. The drake Lesser Scaup returned on 11th October and with Bonaparte's Gull and Wryneck it really has been a great year for Cardiff Bay. Elsewhere it was fairly quiet, with a scattering of Firecrests, an obliging Woodlark at Cosmeston and a Leach's Petrel off Porthcawl.

September Highlights

The beginning of the month was dominated by the search for a Glamorgan Glossy Ibis after up to 25 birds appeared across the county border in Burry Port, Carms. However, apart from several reports of birds in flight, County listers were to be left disappointed. Two Wrynecks, one trapped in Cardiff Bay and one at Lavernock Point were more typical September rarities. Elsewhere a satellite tracked juv Honey Buzzard roosted overnight on the Gower en route to Africa and several days saw large movement of Swallows, presumably Irish birds.

August Highlights

August is often the month when County listers start thinking about trying to add a scarce seabird to their tally. A Cory's Shearwater picked up in Swansea yet again proved that things do head up the Bristol Channel from time to time, although not in the league of Yellow-nosed Albatross or Frigatebird sp, this will be one seabird record the relevant commitee will not have too much trouble with!

Otherwise, migrants such as Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler, Pied & Spotted Flycatcher, Yellow Wagtail & Tree Pipit started to be seen at costal locations. A Shag in Cardiff Bay was a much desired Cardiff tick for some - a bird that is surprisingly rare this far up the channel. An equally odd sighting was an Avocet heading west over Cosmeston Lakes, proof that ocassionally is does pay to look skywards! I would say roll on September but as I will be out of county for most of the month, let's hope for a nice quiet month :-)

July Highlights

Pretty much a rarity free July. The closest we got to any excitement were 2 singing Quail near Maesteg at Mynydd Baeden which showed now and again for those prepared to sweat it out. Elsewhere an eclipse drake Goldeneye at Lisvane Reservoir was somewhat unseasonal to say the least. Otherwise, it was eyes to the floor and time to dust down those Odanata and Butterfly guides.

June Highlights

The summer doldrums finally arrived in June with the only notable rarity being Woodchat Shrike on the Gower at Rhossili Down. A near miss was a Black Stork reported flying over Penclacwydd towards Glamorgan but unfortunately not relocated. Elsewhere Honey Buzzards, Hobbies and Goshawks were seen at well known sites. Can hardly wait for all the excitement July will bring - Caspian Tern please ???

May Highlights

After a magic May in 2008, this year it was more of a muted May. The Lesser Scaup lingered into the first week whilst the only real excitement was the Spoonbill for those who could stomach the long trek out to Kenfig River Mouth. Nightjars performed at traditional sites such as Llanwonno and some mid month gales produced a few seabirds off Porthcawl. Finally, a Turtle Dove at Cosmeston on the 30th was a good sighting of an increasingly difficult bird to see in VC41. Fingers crossed for a better autumn.

April Highlights

After a trickle of migrants in March migration soon got into full swing during April. A couple of early Swifts set the scene along with expected birds such as Cuckoo, Reed & Sedge Warbler, Pied Flycatcher, Redstart, Wood Warbler and a few Grasshopper Warblers. On the rarity front, the drake Lesser Scaup made it into April, whilst the Bonaparte's Gull was last seen at the end of March. Highlight of the month was out of County at Uskmouth, a cracking male Subalpine Warbler a diffuclt to see Welsh rarity particularly away from places like Skomer and Bardsey. Gwent also scored with a White Stork which drifted over Goldcliff towards the end of the month. Let's hope in May it swings back to VC41!
