Grey Phalarope at St Brides Major
Reported on Birdguides - does anyone know any more about this? [This sighting refers to St. Brides, Wentloog in Gwent VC35]
St Brides Gwent is St Brides Wentloog which is on the coast road east of Newport. I can't imagine where in St Brides Wentloog it would be though as at that location itself it's all roadside reens.
Ref St Brides Wentloog - this refers equally to the village AND the immediate foreshore including the now famous West Nash Lighthouse at the Usk est. where all the recent action has been - very confusing!

There's a Curlew Sandpiper reorted there today...Can only think of the pond outside the pub at the east end
Both sightings refer to St Brides, Gwent. Sort it out, Birdguides!
