Blorenge - Sun 29 Oct

A planned twitch this morning as I set off to mid-Wales with a couple of mates to try and see the long-staying Rock Thrush. Leaving Somerset at 7.30am we arrived at Blorenge soon after 9.30am and made the walk out to the favoured quarry of our quarry! The bird was on the northern side of Gilwern Hill just below the Carreg Gywir radio mast. It was a pleasant 30 minute walk out to the site and it was probably the easiest twitch I have ever undertaken. You can see how obliging the bird was by looking at my photos below (I took over 100 photos whilst watching the bird and they were all passible!).

A brilliant bird and a wonderful morning out and my first Rock Thrush in the UK.
