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.

This is the first LTD on RPL since the first official record for Cardiff in Dec. 1905, 108 years ago! Well done Dave & Gareth.
