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.

Thanks Jake. The Bonaparte's appeared in exactly the same place as 2 weeks ago, in flight over the fence east of the big concrete building at east end of Water Treatment Works. It came in off the foreshore at 14.55 with a flock of Black-headeds and immediately lost to view as it dropped onto the first settling tank inside the fence. Waited for one hour and didn't see it again though it could easly have slipped out without me noticing as gulls continually flying in and out of works either side of me.
