Iceland Gull - Bridgend

An Iceland Gull was found this afternoon on the roof of the old Tesco in Bridgend, by Neil Donaghy. I got there shortly after, by which time the bird had relocated to the roof of the post office. Unfortunately, this location was only really viewable from Newcastle Hill, from where I obtained a few distant record shots.

16/02.2017 Brains Brewery Roof Glaucous Gull - Caaardiff Bird.

Not been able to get out much so far this year so grateful for this monster 1W Glaucous gracing the CARDIFF RIVIERA looking as if he has eaten all the Clarks pies!

Red flanked bluetail still present at Wern ddu, Caerphilly. PP+CG.

      After an hours search the bird showed for around ten minutes on the left of
      the usual track, where the stream goes through.

Eastern Chiffchaff Cardiff Bay

I was sent these two photos by GBC member Tony Fisher of the putative tristis type Chiffchaff, which we seen near St Davids Hotel at CBWR yesterday.

Waxwings in Cardiff Bay

One of 3 Waxwings found at Havannah Street by Peter Howlett - I was in carpark by St. Davids Hotel (good timing). A 'tristis' Chiffchaff with a nominate race in CBWR. Also Long-tailed Duck & 8 Scaup in Cardiff Bay, between lockgates & barrage sails.
