July 2024 Summary
The summary for July is simple – no birding at all apart from the back garden. This was due to a combination of wet days, hot days and all the birds laying low in the countryside after the breeding season.

Birding Group Visit to Marbury Park 25 June 2024
The last birding group morning out of the “term” was to Marbury. It was a very hot day and, although we didn’t see much special, we did get a single yer tick – a Kingfisher. The woods were full of the singing of Song Thrushes, Blackbirds, Blackcaps and Wrens.

Birding in North Wales 19-21 June 2024
We decided to have a few days in North Wales taking in RSPB Conwy, Llanferfechan, Holyhead Fish Docks, Cemlyn Bay, RSPB South Stack, Bodnant Gardens and Gronant Dunes. As luck would have it, we managed to get three days of really sunny, wind-free weather – a rarity for north Wales. We managed to get forty-seven species and eight year ticks over the three days.

The birding group went to Burton Mere Wetlands on 11 June. It was a cold morning but gradually warmed up. The highlight of the morning was the sight of 120 Bar-tailed Godwits on the main scrape – a very unusual event.

Coincidental Birding at RHS Harlow Carr Gardens, Harrogate 5 June 2024
After our visit of the previous day to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, we chose to stay overnight at The Pine Marten hotel right next door to RHA Harlow Carr gardens. The idea wasn’t to be birding but the gardens were such a fantastic habitat for birds that we notched up twenty-three species including a year-tick Spotted Flycatcher.
