SUMMARY:GOS Pelagic Trip 2
DESCRIPTION:Our second GOS pelagic trip (and the last for 2026). \nThe purpose will be to travel a few miles out of Swansea off the south Gower coast in order to see if a bit of chumming (putting out some smelly fish-based oily bait) can result in some shearwaters and petrels that are not commonly seen in our recording area being attracted in. We have chartered a boat that is normally used for recreational fishing. \nPlease express an interest to Jeremy early\, as the boat will be restricted to 10-12 passengers. The cost is likely to be around £45 ppn. This event is open to GOS members only\, given the limited place availability. \nIf it proves successful and well subscribed we will seek to run it in future years. \nDeparture point is the fuelling pontoon at Swansea Marina ///sums.divide.hangs

SUMMARY:Rhossili Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:A gentle walk down the Vile to Kitchen Corner\, then around to Mewslade (albeit the direction / order may depend on wind direction and speed and where the migrants are likely to be). \nRhossili is a good area for flocks of wintering farmland and coastal birds such as skylark\, meadow pipit and linnet\, and the network of fields and location result in a variety of migrants including whinchat\, tree pipit and yellow wagtail being frequently recorded along with the occasional rarer species and a range of raptors. The Mewslade Valley is good for smaller warblers\, that might include firecrest or maybe something scarcer among the commoner migrants. The open cliffs and sheep-grazed coastal slopes have choughs\, ravens and wheatears\, and the coastal gorse yellowhammer and Dartford warbler. Offshore there should be auks\, scoter and potentially divers. \nYour leader will be Eddie Hunter. \nThe meeting point will be outside the National Trust shop. Parking is available at either the church or the National Trust car park. There are toilets at the car park. A reasonable walk so bring refreshments\, walking boots and clothing appropriate to the weather. \nImage: kestrel (Peter Douglas-Jones)
