Welcome to the GRC Recorders pages. This blog provides details on all the relevant news of Glamorgan’s scarcer birds, plus all BBRC & WRP decisions that affect us locally. 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.

The Glamorgan Rarities Committee, in conjunction with the Glamorgan Bird Club & Gower Wildlife , have agreed to co-operate with the Welsh Ornithological Society in the sharing of bird records & photographs in the interest of keeping accurate records and to promote birdwatching in North, Mid & South Wales.
Gareth Jones has very kindly sent some record shots of the ad Kumlien's Gull that he saw at Jackstones Pier, this afternoon (13:38). Very nice record and shown off with a bit of style.
Thanks for clarifying that Phil. I've corrected the text accordingly. In fairness to Gareth he did get back to me that a 'silver-haired chap who was very knowledgable' had 'called it first.' I didn't immediately think of Clive but now I'll know better the next time I receive a description like that.
I know, it should have been obvious. Certainly a statement like 'I don't twitch much anymore', heard only in the field recently, caused me some uncertainty.

What cracking wing tips!
Found by Clive Hurford, who got the photographers onto it. Pity we all missed this from the prom.

So which part of this description was causing you difficulties Mark?
