About a seven mile circular walk. I managed 71 species, highlight being 5 Jack Snipe in a tiny pool on top of the mountain, Water Pipit on Traeth Dulas and unexpected birds like Goosander, Pintail and Tufted Duck. Lots of divers, grebes, and waders but missed out on the woodland birds. Missing from my list were Linnet, Kestrel, Fieldfare and Moorhen. Still a good count I think, and some great exercise.david wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971236544110494790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-46236694889199861592013-01-01T18:52:50.947+00:002013-01-01T18:52:50.947+00:00We did the Great Orme this morning, as expected no...We did the Great Orme this morning, as expected not many birds but a fly-by Shelduck, Kittiwakes, Red t Divers and lots of Guillemots were all good for Foot It list. Thirty six birds on the Orme by 11am and lots of "easy" ones not seen - no pipits!<br /><br />Later went along Glanwydden Lane, no wellies so viewed from lane, lots of birds including Brambling, Reed Bunts and Skylarks defo a place to keep an eye on.<br /><br />Alan and Ruth<br />www.thebiggesttwitch.com<br /><br />The Biggest Twitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092261074010630984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-36684458094769588532013-01-01T18:45:03.048+00:002013-01-01T18:45:03.048+00:00I didn't get out quite as early as intended, s...I didn't get out quite as early as intended, so my score for almost the same area as Marc is nowhere near as good, at 51 species. Inevitably, missed a load of 'common' birds (no song thrush!), but still 30 days of #footit to catch up. Highlight was a male goosander flying high over the Little Orme, shortly before I took a tumble in the mud. Well worth doing though, it's great to see what's in the fields I drive past each dayJulianHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244681066392183913noreply@blogger.com
