Woolston Eyes 26th June 2019
After a few days of rain and very high pollen count, a lull in the weather and slightly lower pollen levels lured us outdoors, despite missing yesterdays birding group morning. Our target bird was, of course, the breeding Black-necked Grebes.

South Stack, Maltreath Marshes and Gronant Dunes 19th June 2019
We started our second day in Wales with a return to the Fish Dock to see if we could get more than just the one Black Guillemot we had got the previous evening. We were rewarded with six of the birds gliding along at the opposite end of the dock. It was all set to be another beautiful day.

Birding Group Visit to North Wales 18th June 2019
The next birding group outing was to North Wales starting at RSPB Conwy. We had thought just to do a quick tour of the nearest hides but, in the end, we did the full circuit. There were reasonably good numbers of birds but for the best was a very good sighting of a Lesser Whitethroat.

Ring-necked Parakeets in our Garden 8th June 2018
We had the very first visit of Ring-necked Parakeets to our garden on the 8th of June with three of them being quite entertaining. Of course, that may not be so appealing if the three grows to thirty!
Also in the garden the same day were good numbers of House Sparrow, fledged Starlings, Robin, Blackbird etc.

Birding Group Trip to Blacktoft Sands, North Cave and Bempton Cliffs 3 – 4 June 2019
The fist birding group outing of the month was an overnight trip; this time to Blacktoft Sands, North Cave and Bempton Cliffs. This was our first chance of the year to get most of the cliff-nesting birds that we had not already got. An additional bonus was a couple of other passerine year ticks.
