rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I was very lucky to be at Kenfig Pool this morning to view the Red-eyed Vireo caught by the ringers and released shortly afterwards.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It's always a pleasure to watch the bird ringers at Kenfig, the care and expertise they have when handling the birds. This morning was one to remember when this Nightingale appeared. @btocymru.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social #birds @birdsinwales.bsky.social @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social 0282
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This female Red-crested Pochard was a good spot by Neil Donaghy at Kenfig Pool this morning and, as usual, put the sighting out quickly so others could see it. @birdsinwales.bsky.social @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social @eastglambto.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social 0173

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The water level has dropped considerably at Kenfig Pool so hopefully, given the time of year, more and more waders will arrive. This Little Ringed Plover (found by Neil Donaghy) this morning was the second in two days. @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social @btocymru.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social 091
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 24/08/2026An evening visit to Old Pembrey Harbour was disappointing in that no Terns were present but at least this Rock Pipit posed nicely. Yellow Wagtail and Kingfisher also present. @btocymru.bsky.social @birdsinwales.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social #birds 0171
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A lovely morning walk at Kenfig Pool this morning with Neil Donaghy.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Great White Egrets have become commonplace at Kenfig NNR in the last few years, often giving excellent views from the hide.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 02/08/2026This Hummingbird Hawk-Moth was a nice surprise in the garden yesterday, the first time I've seen one there. #moths 091
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 10/05/2026This is one of two Ruff today present in one of the slacks at Kenfig NNR.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 24/04/2026A visit to one of the Red Kite feeding stations always allows the chance to practice birds in flight as well as admire these beautiful birds.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Lots of Reed Warblers singing at Kenfig NNR at the moment but difficult to see as they tend to stay low down in the reeds. This one has been frustrating me since arriving but rewarded me with good views this morning. #birds #birdingWales @eastglambto.bsky.social @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social 0191
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Very fortunate to catch up with the 5 American Wigeon at Ogmore estuary this afternoon - probably a once in na lifetime opportunity!

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Turnstones are one of those birds that are often overlooked but have a beauty all of their own and can be quite confiding. This was one of several that came within a few feet of me at Sker today. #birdingWales #birds @eastglambto.bsky.social @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social 0170
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 30/03/2026One of the joys of wildlife watching is the occasional serendipitous find. Whilst looking for Wheatear near Sker House today I noticed this Brown Hare hunkered down. 0366

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Nice to catch up with the White-Fronted Goose at Kenfig Pool this morning, found by Neil Donaghy.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 28/01/2026The front at Rest Bay, Porthcawl, at high tide is a very reliable place/time to see Purple Sandpipers (and MedGulls).

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 17/12/2025It's always worth a visit to WWT Llanelli.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Always a thrill to see an Otter in the wild. This one appeared for a few seconds at WWT Llanelli this morning - seen from the Sir Peter Scott hide. 0101
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Fortunate to see a Red-throated Diver close up at Porthcawl Harbour this morning. Apparently it's been there for a few days so I hope it's okay health-wise. #birds #birdingWales @eastglambto.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social 1291
rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 11/12/2025A late afternoon visit to Kenfig Pool to catch up with the Great Northern Diver found by Owen Leyshon.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Lots of Firecrest and Goldcrest again today at Kenfig NNR.

rhoswilliams.bsky.social @rhoswilliams.bsky.social · 19/11/2025There have been quite a few Firecrests at Kenfig NNR this Autumn (the Ringers have ringed 7) but I haven't seen one until today when there were at least 2 behind the Reserve building. #birds #birdingWales @rspbcymru.bsky.social @eastglambto.bsky.social @glamorganbirdclub.bsky.social 0291
