Two rarities, one quite exciting, and one sooo dull it took me nearly two months to drive the couple of miles to see the now eclipse American Wigeon in Cardiff Bay. NB I wasn't driving slowly! It took nearly two months to get motivated to see the bird!
The Red Necked Phalarope at Goldcliff on Tuesday was far more fun, though no easier to photograph.
If only I'd been able to find the alleged Ortolan near Llanbradach that evening.....

If you read today's comments on the GBC forum, it looks as though we won't be able to 'officially' tick the Yank anyway.
Not ticking anything this year anyway. I agree that it's an unlikely record, given the time of year, but Jake is only one of several voices, and if I wanted to tick any particular bird, I would. It's my list after all!
True . . . and PB has weighed in now with a similar comment on the forum.
