I have really enjoyed seeing this very smart juvenile Spotted Redshank zipping around the lagoons at RSPB Conwy this week. Nice to capture the moment it caught a Stickleback. For the full video please take a look here: youtube.com/shorts/mdS7N... #ukbirding #birdingwales

It was a treat to see these Swallow juveniles being fed by their parent recently at RSPB Conwy. They just dropped in right next to me. #birdingwales #ukbirding The full version can be seen here: youtube.com/shorts/TTmpE...

Great to see a Pec Sand at RSPB Conwy this morning. Thanks to @marcbuzzard.bsky.social for finding it. Managed some footage through the glass of the Tal y fan hide so not the clearest video. Great to see some familiar faces there too. Not many records here #birdingwales #ukbirding

Lovely to see Common Fleabane at RSPB Conwy today surviving in the damp areas. Was delighted to have a Clouded Yellow butterfly drop in while I was taking pictures. Also Perennial Sow thistle with its yellow sticky glandular hairs and the delicate umbels of Upright Hedge Parsley. #wildflowerhour

Looking through the hundreds of Black Headed Gulls at RSPB Conwy, it was satisfying to find a lovely juvenile and second summer Med Gull yesterday. #birdingwales

One ringed Black-tailed Gidwit can tell a story, thanks to colour-ring readers. Example: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/04/04/j... And when you put all of the records together! wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/01/09/h... #ornithology

Rock Samphire on the edge of the Conwy Estuary, looking towards the Carneddau. It's adaptations to a salty environment must be helping it survive the heatwave. #wildflowerhour #NorthWales

A Black Tailed Godwit was extra pleasing to see this week at RSPB Conwy, as it had colour rings. Previously seen on the Orwell, Suffolk in '25 (@edkeeble.bsky.social) Also Iceland, Holland, Scotland, Devon, Essex...Fascinating ! #birdmigration #birdingwales #ukbirding @wadertales.bsky.social

It may not set off the heart rate quite as fast as a Western Reef Heron does but seeing a Med gull while out doing errands in Rhos on sea yesterday was a lovely treat. #birdingwales #ukbirding See the video here: youtube.com/shorts/blCVY...

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Always good to see Agrimony and False Fox Sedge. These were at RSPB Conwy #NorthWales #wildflowerhour

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Sorry, no apologies for more of the globetrotting Western Reef Heron, what a fantastic bird: gracing the north and south shores of our fair country. I was amused to see it gathering sticks at RSPB Conwy (17.6.26), video can be seen here😃 youtube.com/shorts/V8qOB... #birdingwales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

No sign of the WR Heron yesterday but nice to see a Green Sand distantly last eve at RSPB Conwy, calling as it flew in. Also a few Redshank about, one Greenshank yesterday, 2 Little Ringed Plovers & around 40 Curlew. An adult Med Gull has been present the last few days also. #birdingwales

Delighted to see the Western Reef Heron has re-surfaced and it was very kind of it to visit my local patch RSPB Conwy #birdingwales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Lovely to see two Little Ringed Plovers at RSPB Conwy last evening. They were very active flitting to and fro from the Estuary to the Deep Lagoon. Sound on! #birdingwales #ukbirding

Wonderful to see St Mary's Churchyard, Conwy awash with Red Valerian. Plenty growing around my Great great great grandfather's grave. Special bonus to see several Painted Lady enjoying it too. #churchyardflowers #wildflowerhour #NorthWales

What a wonderful week in Welsh/British birding! I was so glad to see the beautiful Western Reef Heron and meet some great people too in a stunning location. Caernarfon harbour on Wednesday. #birdingwales #ukbirding

It was lovely to watch a Swallow having a few minutes rest on a hawthorn bush at RSPB Conwy this week. Really good to see so many hirundines there at the moment. Thanks to some visitors who spotted it nearby. #birdingwales #ukbirding @birdsinwales.bsky.social

One of two gorgeous Wood Sands today at RSPB Conwy. Light not the best but nice to capture it's reflection. Thanks to @marcbuzzard.bsky.social and @jonniprice.bsky.social. #birdingWales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Aided by good light yesterday I was pleased to spot two Med gulls at RSPB Conwy on the Deep Lagoon in a large group of Black H gulls . Not an everyday sighting here. Distant but the red bill and black hood of an adult stood out & a first winter bird was not as obvious. #birdingwales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Went along to the River Clwyd at Rhyl to see the lovely Lesser Yellowlegs again this week. I was actually hoping for the Water Pipit and was totally delighted when it walked into the shot as I was videoing the Yellowlegs! See circled inset. Although distant it made my day! #birdingWales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Nice to finally see the Green-winged Teal at Glan y Môr Elias reserve today, Llanfairfechan. The light wasn't great and it was blowing a gale! #birdingWales #ukbirding #NorthWales

Caernarfon Bay is a real hotspot for wintering Great Northern Divers. My 100th video upload to YouTube features one of these amazing birds at Aberdesach last weekend. youtube.com/shorts/zJutB... #Birdingwales #ukbirding #NorthWales

Really pleased to see the Yellow Browed Warbler at the Morfa Madryn reserve, Llanfairfechan yesterday afternoon. Thanks to the original finder and yesterday's re-finder. Video is highly slowed down. #birdingWales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

A few days ago it was nice to catch up with the Lesser Yellowlegs on the Afon Clwyd. I arrived late in the afternoon and was looking towards the sun so this video is the best of what I could manage with the light. An obliging Redshank provided good scale. #ukbirding #birdingwales #NorthWales

Another clip of the wonderful Foryd Bay Bufflehead from the 21st Dec. Full video can be seen at youtube.com/shorts/zX4Kg... #birdingwales #ukbirding

Lovely to see the drake Bufflehead today at Y Foryd, Caernarfon. The light wasn't the best so my footage is more like a monochrome interpretation 😃 #birdingwales #ukbirding See my video at youtube.com/@GreenPloverProductions

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Couldn't resist another visit today in the sunshine to see the long staying, splendid Shorelark on the Great Orme......We really are so lucky to have this bird staying awhile in our locality. #birdingwales #ukbirding #NorthWales

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Thanks to everyone who has liked my videos over the last few months. It has given me alot of encouragement to make more. So I have started a Youtube channel 😀: youtube.com/@greenplover... See some more of the Ynys Môn Lesser Yellowlegs amongst others... #birdingwales #ukbirding #NorthWales

Great to see today that the Starling numbers are building up at RSPB Conwy. #birdingwales #ukbirding

Great to get some better views of the Great Orme Shorelark which was re-found today. Thanks again to the finder Pete Alderson. #birdingwales #ukbirding @birdsinwales.bsky.social

It's always special to see the first Purple Sandpiper of the Winter. Today at Rhos Point there was just the one. #birdingwales #ukbirding #northwales

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

Lovely to see a splendid male Goldeneye today at RSPB Conwy (although abit distant). There's been two female Goldeneye hanging around for about a week who were probably pleased as well. Don't see too many of these at Conwy. #birdingwales

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Nice to see my first Shore Lark in Wales this afternoon on the Great Orme. Last time I saw any was 34 years ago in Norfolk! In fading light and rain I managed some terrible digiscoped images before it flew away #birdingwales

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

It was great to see the Lesser Yellowlegs today on the Inland Sea, Ynys Môn. Thanks to @alandaviesbirds.bsky.social and Ruth for the directions. Two Great Northern Divers and a Slavonian grebe at Beddmanarch Bay also. @angbirdnews.bsky.social @birdsinwales.bsky.social #birdingwales #ukbirding

Great to catch up with Sanderling on the Conwy Estuary this week. Video stills only as the little darlings are just abit tricky to film 😆 #birdingwales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

Seawatching at Rhos Point on Thursday: plenty of Gannet moving through (video slowed down). Today, rather quiet EXCEPT for one miraculous Leach's Petrel - the first moment, literally, I looked through my scope, there it was 😀 but no footage sadly.... #birdingWales #NorthWales

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Some more footage of the White Rumped Sandpiper from Malltraeth. It was meant to be wintering in Patagonia: many of our Welsh forefathers in the 1800s also made a perilous, long migration there. Their journey was successful, let's hope it makes a successful journey too ... #birdingwales #ukbirding

Sarah Enoch @sarahenoch.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

It was wonderful to get the chance to see the juvenile White-Rumped Sandpiper at Malltraeth Cob pool, Ynys Môn today. Thanks to the skilled original finder. #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social #ukbirding
