Phil
Roberts went to Deffi Park and the Jubail area in Mid-March and mentioned there
was no sign of the Black-throated Thrushes that had been around for some time
although he did see five Song Thrush and a nice male samamisicus Common Redstart. The Jubail area is really flooded from
the rains. There are a few migrants
coming through with good numbers of Ruff in the flooded areas. He also heard two Savi's Warbler
reeling. Quite a few Siberian Stonechat,
four Turkestan Shrike, a Northern Wheatear, loads of Barn Swallow among
others. He also saw three Greater
Spotted Eagles and five Western Marsh Harriers. Phil kindly sent me some of his
photos and has allowed me to use them on my website some of which are shown
below.
