Don’t get to go out birding as often these days, so I was really pleased to have the opportunity to go for the Dotterel at Cwm Cadlan after work this evening. Absolutely stunning birds #birdingWales #lifer

First time out birding in ages this evening! 2 Marsh Harrier and 1 male Hen Harrier from the marsh road, Llanrhidian. The Hen Harrier had a dark back which it was good to learn from @markhipkin.bsky.social is an indication of age #birds
