Repeated storms battered the principality with Ciara and Denis bringing unprecedented fluvial flooding to some areas. With the storms tracking swiftly across the Atlantic there were expected to be at least some American and white-winged gulls. However the bird of the month was a Long-billed Dowitcher, which ventured into the Flintshire section of RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands on 24th!
An unremarkable month, with a Caspian Gull in Glamorgan and a highly unseasonal Common Swift on Anglesey the highlights. Good numbers of photogenic Snow Buntings (including a ‘nivalis’) and Black Redstarts.
