The Hooded Crow which I saw at South Gower Rugby Club at Bishopston on Gower last May was still there today, & seems to have paired up with a Carrion Crow, so it will be interesting to see what any hybrid offspring look like: #birds #GowerBirds @GOWEROS1 @BTO_WestGlam @RSPBCymru

Having a #StockDove visit the garden is an uncommon occurrence. One dropped in to feed with a Woodpigeon this morning and proved to be a ringed bird. Most likely one of the 2 individuals ringed here in the last few years but would have been nice to have confirmed #GowerBirds
