Monkey Head NGC 2174.

Where do you go if you are willing to sign up for a local BTO square to monitor in Glamorgan etc.

My last bird of the year, making a final species count of 208 in the UK. Penduline Tit (3, 1st winter) at Aust Wetlands, Avon, 31/12/25. Been a cracking year and so wonderful to see so many brilliant birds. #birds #ukbirds #BTO

Short video of the Eider off Whiteford Point, Gower, this am. #birdingwales

Trip to Whiteford Point, Gower for high tide this morning. c.22 Eider and great to see two Great Northern Diver off the old lighthouse. Submitted a report to BirdGuides but for some reason they didn’t update sightings. Suppose GND are too common there this time of year?
