Tate Lloyd @tatelloyd18.bsky.social · 13/09/2026A brilliant birding week in Glam started with finding a Baird’s sand at Blackpill and continued with seeing White-winged tern in Cardiff bay, Bonaparte’s and Caspian gull at Blackpill (both also self-found!) and several Curlew sand and Little stint. Oh and 38 colour rings read across 7 species! 3587

Reposted by Tate LloydLittle Terns at Beacon Lagoons @spurnterns.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Wow! A very exciting discovery by one of our wardens, Tate, during his afternoon shift today.
