Cheers mate, it was a sight of beauty. Catch up on the dark side soon.

Get lucky sometimes John, no pressure here as I seen it in the ringers hand 90 minutes before as it was released. Glad I caught up with it as I was unsure whether or not to tick it being held.

Steve said he took you out on day care for the day😂 great video and great day all round by the looks

Nice to see both Ortolan Buntings feeding together in Merthyr today also had the two sitting on a post and gorse 20 ft apart, I can now say I’ve had two Welsh Ortolan ticks ✅ #birdingwales #birdguides #birdsseenin2026

I was lucky enough to refind the Ortolan Bunting in Merthyr yesterday evening and it showed brilliantly but briefly. Great find by Dante Shepherd earlier in the day. @birdingwales @birdguides @birdsseenin2026

Local walk yesterday and nice to see the Whinchat doing well, three different families seen with at least 3 young with each. Only seen the one Female bird, maybe sitting on a second clutch. #birdingwales #birdsseenin20026 #birds

Been watching a pair of local Ring Ouzel on and off since April and last week they were busy back and fore the nest every several minutes feeding young. Only stopping every now and then to chase a Kestrel off. #birdingwales #birdsseenin2026 #birds

Come across this Nightjar today while looking for woodcock, not its usual clearfell but metres off a farm road in a fern border. Can see a discarded eggshell in bottom of pic so guess she’s sitting on young. #birdingwales #birdsseenin2026 #birds
