Griswold's UK Birding Year 2020
Headed up to Chelmarsh Reservoir yesterday. A lovely drive. Herefordshire and Staffs have some beautiful countryside. On arrival I bumped in to Nick from Cardiff. And at the site it was really good to meet James, Archie and Sam. A short wait and lifer number 8 showed itself well, if briefly...- ClarkWGriswold

Went with the pup down to Sker Point this morning. Nice to have some dry weather for a change. Perhaps it should have been no surprise that the car park was full - heaps of surfers. At the point were several Curlews, Turnstones and a couple of Purple Sandpipers. 191. Purple Sandpiper This...- ClarkWGriswold

Forgot to add these last weekend. Given its highly likely my area is going back into lockdown soon I think they maybe the last year ticks for a while. Supposed to be going to Cornwall for October half term but it’s doubtful that’ll be going ahead. 188. Red-necked Grebe 189. Cattle Egret The...- ClarkWGriswold

No new species today but having felt I’d neglected the boy yesterday we headed down to Rhosilli. I’m ashamed to say I’d never a actually walked out to Worm’s Head so today we decided to rectify that. Well pleased we did as it’s gorgeous. Anyone thinking of going over should keep an eye on the...- ClarkWGriswold

Cracking day out in Pembs and Carms yesterday with my old man. Weather was superb and got chatting to some very decent birders. Including BirdForum’s own John O’Sullivan. Good to catch up with you John. Pulled into the car park at Marloes Mere. And virtually straight away on to a lifer...- ClarkWGriswold

I seem to be in the right places at the wrong times at the moment. Went to Goldcliff yesterday and couldn’t locate the long staying Ibis. Did avoid the hides though. Went to Kidwelly at lunchtime and somebody had flushed the Ibis seen this morning! Over at Pembrey the hound had a good run and I...- ClarkWGriswold

Griswold's UK Birding Year 2020
Went over the dry side of the bridge yesterday with my youngest. Not too many birds tbh, but I guess given the heat and the time of the year that was to be expected. Pretty certain we had a flyover Honey Buzzard when driving along the M5. Sun was directly in our eyes at Catcott so we quickly...- ClarkWGriswold

Griswold's UK Birding Year 2020
Had a message on Friday from a very decent birder I’ve met out and about a few times. Acting on this tip I set off Saturday morning. After about 40 minutes of waiting I was treated to my best ever view of a Honey Buzzard. Happy days. Location withheld on this one for fairly obvious reasons...- ClarkWGriswold

Met up with my sister’s family, when we were allowed to do so, over a week ago. Parked by the 4th Gnoll Pond and walked up to Parsons Folly. A beautiful spot. Warblers, Swifts, Martins everywhere. Really good to catch up with a couple of Spotted Flycatchers as well. Not that easy to pick up...- ClarkWGriswold
