Pwll Penarth Sunday 19th Feb.



To add to the debate, it would be interesting to see some opinions about this bird, which I found at Pwll Penarth this morning.

    This one is probably a Sib, but you still need the call. Reckon they are a lot more common than we think. A Siberian is a lot more easily compared to a Common if seen fairly close to and still.
    Well done Chris, nice shots.

    Very good/useful pics from 18th & 19th show birds which are potentially Siberian (tristis) race. I'll submit to the Welsh Records Panel and their learned experts will determine whether or not the bird is recorded as tristis...
