I gave up my lie in this morning to go and explore the Goldcliff region to see if there was anything interesting around. The area certainly didn't disappoint with easily 40+ species to be seen including a group of ~15 Acocets - a new sighting for me! :)



I couldn't identify all of the birds present as I didn't take a spotting scope, but here's some of what I was able to identify...

  • Herons
  • Little Egrets
  • Curlews
  • Lapwings
  • Redshank
  • Meadow Pipits
  • Rock Pipits
  • Pied Wagtails
  • Kestrel
  • Pheasant
  • Black Tailed Godwits
  • Oystercatchers
  • Stonechats
  • Wigeon
  • Teal
  • Shovelers
  • Shelducks
  • Rosybill
  • Coot
  • Moorhen
  • Cetti's Warblers
  • Chiffchaffs
  • Goldfinch
  • Long Tailed Tits
  • Wren
  • Starlings
