    Says 0719 on mine, but then it is now tomorrow (if you see what I mean). OK, then Mike, send the next Pom Skua or RL Buzz you see down here to Cardiff, and we'll say no more about it! I used to work for a lapsed birder in North East England. He was a bit of a tyrant until we the company were...

    Or I may stay in and watch the cricket from Sri Lanka in the warm and dry!

    May try a spot of seawatching Sunday AM, give the winds time to blow the birds to us.

    Nice pic of the duck. When I went on Saturday, it never stayed above the surface for for than a few seconds at a time.

    For the White Rumped Sandpiper at Kenfig (yes, I know, not in Gwent), just head down the track from the carpark to the pool until you reach a small sandy beach. Then turn right, over a couple of stiles and soon you should trip over the bird. We found it about 10 feet from us. If it's still...

    Short Eared Owl at Goldcliff again from 1715, until we left at 1830. We watched it from the seawall. It was perched on a fencepost near the haybales for quite a while. A very poor pic attached. Little Owl in usual tree and lots of Avocets on the shoreline. Earlier in GLAMORGAN, good views of...

    The Aquatic Warbler showed well on and off from 1655 (I'd gone to Goldcliff by then!) until at least 1845, when hunger took over. Just before I left at 1645, Gareth Stamp and another Glamorgan birder arrived, and I passed Luke's information on. They refound it quickly. Luckily it hung around...
