Bird feeding & listing

I would agree with Mark - today the number of birds using the garden feeders & additional food put down is lower than last weekend. Signs of birds succumbing to the persistent cold or moving on?

As a result of collating & submitting my annual records to Jon, I had a chance to update my Pembrokeshire & Welsh lists respectively: 275 & 301 (including recent additions Pacific Diver & Glaucous-winged Gull). What next for Pembrokeshire I wonder? My top tips (or is it desire?) for Pembrokeshire this year are: Bonaparte's Gull, Citrine Wagtail, Radde's Warber, Buff-bellied Pipit & Red-flanked Bluetail. And the good news is that they are all possible in my chosen birding peninsula!
