COED-Y-DINAS morning




Gorden Bennett! It was cold in the hide this morning with the north wind blowing straight into the window opening. The only birds of note were a small flock of about 10 Meadow Pipit's on the left hand bank. A pair of Bullfinches were around, as were a pair of Dunnock. A Wren just would not stay still long enough to photograph.
Plenty of Teal, Wigeon and Tufted Ducks, but no Scaup I'm afraid Mark!
