Temp 08°C to 13°C. Clouds with occasional sun or light shower. Feeling cool in a strong breeze from SSW gusting to 40mph.

Some birds are well into breeding season, and more will be soon, so here is a reminder about Schedule 1 birds. Please be careful about reporting these species, or any others, in which a nest or potential breeding site is put at risk, or the birds are disturbed in any way. There have been recent cases of people getting far too close to nesting owls for example. 

All sightings sent to us go into the records but we will not post certain species at certain locations on the blog. You can also email sensitive records to Rupert Higgins, the county recorder, details in the side bar of the blog.

Temp 06°C to 12°C - a brighter day, a light SW/WSW wind to start, moving to a strong S/SSW later, with gusts to 23mph.

Please note, there is very limited parking near Pilning Wetlands. Last time the Hooded Merganser was there, some inconsiderate birders blocked the road with their parking and residents could not access their houses, and the bin lorry could not empty the bins. Do not park there unless there is suitable room and you are not blocking the road- lorries need to be able to access the houses. There is plenty more parking further down the road, a short walk away. Or park at Severn Beach and walk along the seawall path.
