Western Reef Heron from last 2 days at Conwy RSPB and Conwy Morfa. What a bird to get so close to home. Phone-scoped. Awesome so many people are getting to see it.

Ashy-headed Wagtail M.f. cinereocapilla (putative) - Cors Ddyga, Anglesey 18/04/26. Initially found by @birdsandbikes.bsky.social, then relocated by myself. Well defined white throat, grey forehead, crown & nape, darker grey ear coverts & lores. Hopefully, a good candidate. #birdingWales #ukbirding

Anyone going to Global Birdfair who's into biological recording, we are running a pan-species listing stall for the 2nd year, and are going to try to get to 1,000 species over the weekend. Here's how to get involved analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/06/psl-...

PSL will be bioblitzing Global Birdfair again in 2025

Last year, with very little prep, we used the fantastic new pan-species listing website to collate all the sightings of all species recorde...

Just going to float it again. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to colour code signage for substandard distance slipway on #trunckrosads ? #roadsafety

A maintenance check on one of my pied flycatcher sites today. They’d had a bit of battering this winter so some needed replacing. #atlanticrainforest #bto #nestboxes #spring

European Stonechat - late evening at Cemlyn, 24/03/25. A number of birds were colour ringed by @birdsandbikes.bsky.social last summer. This bird has remained on site and can be seen around the general area of Tyn Llan pool. Worth keeping an eye out for colour-ringed birds if you are in the area.
