An early morning trip to South Wales proved very successful with superb views of this amazing Magnolia Warbler.

We saw it several occasions fly catching and just generally moving through the bushes, many thanks to Steve Clinch for letting me use his superb photo.

We also saw several Chough & Ravens.

Oare Marshes

Dotterel

On the 29th September i went to Oare Marshes with AE and we had timed it right for high tide, there were huge numbers of waders coming into the East flood which kept us busy.

After awhile it quietened down a little bit and i got chatting to SC & others and then all of a sudden AE says,  '' i have got a DOTTEREL '' !!!!

Dotterel.

I first thought it must be flying with the Golden Plover , so i was really surprised to see it close in to the Pull-in !!!

Dotterel all the above photos are by AE.

I took some Digi scope pics :

This was a proper confirmed Oare Marsh Life tick for me, i had seen one before distantly flying off with Golden Plovers and never felt happy with that view , so many thanks to AE for another great find !!!!
