COED-Y-DINAS , Afternoon

Horrible wet afternoon, and the very high iso speed of 3200 was needed for the above image.

Two Green Sandpipers, one Great Crested Grebe juvenile, one male Tufted, several Teal, and a single Pied Wagtail plus usual Cormorants, Mallard etc.

A Buzzard was noted on the ground at Maesydre football ground.

Thanks for your company Kevin on such a foul afternoon!

A visit was also made yesterday to Ceri Ridge area , late afternoon, but only a single Mistle Thrush was observed
