Delayed postings from Steve the Manchester Birder (in Spam)

15th Jan

On a quick visit to Tenby this morning looking for any Black Redstarts that I have seen on previous January visits I came across this Leusitic Blackbird in the public gardens opposite the Croft overlooking North Beach.  There was also a couple of Rock Pipits around the Bandstand overlooking St Catherine's island

I visited Dowrog late yesterday afternoon seeing 2 harriers.  1 was definitely a Ring tail.  The  2nd despite it going dark seemed a paler bird but cannot confirm it was the Pallid.  Other birds 1 sparrowhawk.  1 Woodcock, 12 Redwings, bit quieter than I was expecting but definitely not disappointed . Never am.  
I have had a Male Bullfinch visiting the garden of the cottage I'm staying at in Saundersfoot. Sadly back to Manchester tomorrow morning.
