If anyone is going down to Sker Point this weekend, please look out for Golden Plover, which are regularly seen down there, and submit a count, via BirdTrack if possible. Diolch! 🙏 #BirdingWales

This weekend is the International Golden Plover Census🌍🪶 If you fancy another outing to your WeBS site, we would love for you to do another count so we can feed more golden plover data into the census, or you can log your plovers in BirdTrack if you want to go elsewhere!📋 #UKBirding #Ornithology

If a nice winter stroll along a small section of Welsh coast whilst helping conservation takes your fancy, then our upcoming once-a-decade 'Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey' is the survey for you! #birdingwales

Ever see these species? We’re looking for volunteers for the Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey this winter. Sign up➡️ www.bto.org/webs-news All you need to do is walk your chosen survey sector along the coastline once between 1 December & 31 January & count the birds you see. #UKBirding

The image is split into three horizontal sections each featuring a different bird. At the top is a Sanderling foraging along the shoreline. It’s a small wading bird with a black bill and legs, white underparts and face, and grey head and upperparts. The middle section features a Turnstone walking showing its bright orange legs, white underparts, and brown-black upperparts. The bottom frame shows a Purple Sandpiper standing on a sloping rock. It’s a medium-sized and stocky wading bird with orange legs, grey-brown upper plumage and white-cream below with a downcurved beak with orange base and black tip.

Finally managed a walk out to Sker for the tide on a blustery morning. Not huge numbers of birds, but seven Grey Plovers was a good count for the site and a brief Arctic Skua offshore was also noted. The light was poor today so this is a library shot from the same site #birdingWales #UKbirding
