Colura in Caerphilly

A few miscellaneous records at today's failed Red-flanked Bluetail twitch included small tufts of Colura growing on this spindley willow in a gloomy Sitka plantation ride at Wernddu (ST17188570). Not terribly significant in a Glamorgan context, but new for ST18.

    Hard to believe that 20 years ago Colura was as rare as red-flanked blue-tails in south Wales!

    Nice one Barry. I've done some recording in that tetrad but haven't looked at the Sitka areas.

    Hope you got some nice views of the bird.

    Nice record Barry. It would be interesting to see its distribution in a wider a South Wales context.

    I'd have preferred to have seen the blue-tail! The Colura was very predictable and it was on the first (almost only) willow in the gloomy section of the ride.

    Ah sorry I'd somehow not spotted the word 'failed'!
