Stopped to watch three Swifts feeding along the cliffs by the House Martin colony at Whitmore Stairs, Vale of Glamorgan. It's getting on now, of course; each sighting could well be the last of the year.

Visited Ogmore to see the lovely Bonaparte’s Gull found earlier in the week by @tom_wright16 Showed pretty much the entire time I was there and had a bonus flyover Little Ringed Plover heading upriver.

Lesser White-fronted Geese field painting. The flock of of 24 birds from the Swedish reintroduction scheme have been a real delight. First time I've seen and heard a flock of this attractive species in a wild setting

Got to the hide at KNNR at nearly 3pm and within five minutes the Osprey that was seen earlier by Colin Baker flew straight up the pool towards me. Talk about right place right time. Amazing view as it flew past but didn't show again unfortunately. So glad I made the effort .

1/2 - 2 of the 4 juvenile marshies at @RSPBotmoor are stunning partial leusistic birds! One mostly white and one half white with a black bar along it's wings. They have a lighter coloured gold cap too, amazing birds to see and I hope their feathers are strong enough @OOSbirding

Not to be for the West Indies on the pitch this series.
But what an absolute privilege to have @CRBrathwaite26 & Fazeer Mohammed with us for the last few weeks.
Two of the very best.
