Grey phal?
Report of a Grey phalarope on the shore by Cardiff bay ice rink yesterday....
'Scoped the Bay from the Ice Rink - no sign of a Grey Phal although if in remotest corners of Bay would be hard to find from there. However - there was a partial moult B-h Gull with a nice smudge behind and part over the eye, feeding very much like a Grey Phal, as they often do, spinning around and picking stuff off the surface. Along the shore line by the distant yacht club. Could be mistaken by novice with just bins due to behaviour.
Arrrrrrrrghhhh, well oi never, that wench be walking the plank very, very soon, ain't that right shipmates.....aaaarrrrrgh (you just don't get this sort of entertainment on other blogs, not unless it's smell like a brachiopod friday, then there's no stopping them, next week it's converse with a pyralid moth through the medium of jazz dance. That starts this Thursday at Llanbobble Folk Club (eight till really, really late), can't wait)
