Back from a great week in Norfolk for Alice's birthday. The usual suspects kept us busy, with Bearded Tits, Spoonbills, Cattle Egrets, Hobby and more. A sprinkle of migrants included my first Siberian Stonechat, and good views of six Yellow-browed Warblers - Alice's bogey bird!

Brilliant display of #orchids at @RSPBConwy at the moment, including some beautiful white variant chlorantha amongst the hundreds of Bee Orchids. Lots of Southern Marsh, and a few Early Marsh and Pyramidal too. #WildflowerHour #OrchidChallenge
Delighted to stumble across a pair of noisy Tawny owlets in our local woods this week. #phonescoped
Brown Argus and Dingy Skipper from yesterday. Also spotted my first local Painted Lady and Small Heath of the year on Nant y Gamar. @cofnod
Duck spotting at a very still and atmospheric Llyn Cefni. Plenty of wildfowl on the water, including this smart drake Goldeneye displaying to a female in the late morning sun.
Birding in the winter sun on Anglesey today. 2 Peregrine & a f. Scaup at Cors Ddyga. Great wader selection feeding with the Brents on the Inland Sea. Goldeneye and a f. Common Scoter too. 4 Slav. Grebes in Beddmanarch Bay. @AngBirdNews
The very obliging Lapland Bunting present at @RSPBConwy since Tuesday, which has provided many with brilliant close-up views. A great addition for the #PWC2023 list too!

Blues galore in the fields around Bryn Pydew this afternoon! Common blue, brown argus and small coppers all in attendance, along with the usual supporting cast of speckled wood, gatekeeper, meadow brown and more. Now for a post-transect pint! 馃槀馃
Purple Hairstreaks were out enjoying the sun near Swallow Falls/Capel Curig yesterday afternoon, including this one which was grounded and has definitely seen better days! Such beautiful little #butterflies, and a privilege to see one up close.
