Been thinking for a while about a thread identifying a better than 50% chance to see a particular bird type. Obviously some will be seasonal. I will give a few below:

Kingfishers - SWT, Lackford Lakes, Suffolk

Stone Curlews, Wood Larks, Yellow Hammers - NWT Wheeting Heath, Norfolk

Spoonbills - NWT Cley Marshes

Nightingales - RSPB Pulborough Brooks, RH20 2EL, West Sussex

Cranes - NWT Hickling, and surrounding area Norfolk

Puffins, Tree Sparrows, Gannets etc, RSPB Bempton Cliffs

Pied Fly Catcher - Ynys-hir RSPB reserve is a nature reserve of the RSPB situated beside the Dyfi estuary in Ceredigion, mid Wales between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust (NWT), Suffolk Wildlife Trust (SWT)

Please feel free to add your selection

They should still be about then. It's also a good spot for ring ouzel, but on the flanks of Pendle rather than the summit. Always a good excuse for a rest on the way up!

Hope they are there Pliers, going to come up this afternoon and hope to make the ascent tomorrow. Weathers meant to be good so could be a bonus.

The Pembrokeshire coast around St David's has Skomer and Ramsey Islands. The RSPB look after Ramsey. The South and West Widllife Trust look after Skomer. There are organised day trips to see the sea bird colonies. You might see Manx Shearwaters on Skomer and you can stay for a longer visit. There is a non EHU CL near Marloes within walking distance of the Skomer ferry and various nearby camp sites for both places.

Hope you have a good day, Oneputt, it's Bank Holiday tomorrow, so might be a bit busy.

Some info on typical species on this ELOC link, if it works!

There are reports of a pallid harrier at nearbyish Whitendale, might be worth a look if you have time.

Enjoy😊
