Malpas, Newport |
|
Although Blackcaps in the main are summer visitors and migrate to during winter months to Southern Europe and North Africa, increasingly several now over-winter in this country. They also regularly come to bird tables. To give you some idea of how often they are seen during the winter, in the 2008 bird report sightings were made in Chepstow, Magor, Redwick, Tredegar Park, Bedwas and Osbaston. So although not unusual it is still a delight to see them in your garden Lyndon. I would be chuffed also. Seen a male in Caerleon yesterday (Thursday).

Anywhere in Wales |
| Hi,
This is a request as opposed to a sighting-a request I hoped members of the forum may be able to help me with. I work for an independent television company in Cardiff called Aden Productions and we are currently producing two wildlife series for the BBC both of which will be presented by Iolo Williams. We are searching for a mute swan nest (building etc) location for the bird series we are producing and I wondered if anybody had any suggestions? Ideally we are looking for an accessible nest to film-it could be in a public park or along a river walk-we were hoping to film in the next few weeks. It would be wonderful if anybody had any suggestions. If so please email me (sally.snow@adenproductions.com) rather than posting the information on the forum. Thank you kindly and best wishes,
Sally |
