Very proud of visiting birders both enjoying the bird and treating the garden and the bird with respect. Thanks to every one, The Pembrokeshire Bird Group Anna and Steve Sutcliffe and Peter Royle
Dark-eyed Junco in Pembs today with @markhipkin1 @rossgull a nice addition to my Welsh List.
A timely visit yesterday to Cardiff bay to check the Gull roost with @markhipkin1 & @DCCbirder was rewarded with my best ever views of Caspian Gull in Glamorgan. Thanks to @GarethStamp77 for the news.
A recent visit to Hill Road Eastbourne for the American Robin was rewarded with exceptional views in the garden of the finder of this bird. @Stormvogel99 @wawlee
Late yesterday evening at Egwlys Nunyyd Res i found what I think is a good candidate for Spot Sand I wanted to check the photographs when I got home and get some other opinions before i released the news, apologies for the poor digi scope photographs the bird was quite distant.

My best finds of 2021 weren't birds. An aberrant Red Admiral on Scilly & a rare fungi. Many thanks to @philjo61 for pointing out the significance of the butterfly & to @GlamBirder for noticing my misidentified Hazel Gloves. Clearly I need to mither people more, with what I find!
