It will also be used to document the status and occurrence of these scarcer species and we welcome contributions from anyone with photographs, artwork or documentation of rarities past, present and future. The GRC also welcomes all seawatching news from around Glamorgan and news of passage migrants in spring & autumn, uncommon birds in our area and unusual behaviour.

Adult Bonaparte's was on the shore off the heliport / water works late morning.

Likely to be the one returning since 2009 I guess. If so, then back for its 5th winter.
