LCyD

(via Sandy Bemister) Had a couple of hours down at Llyn Coed y Dinas today. Managed to see:

1 Great crested Grebe, Lots of Lapwings, 2 Oystercatchers, about 10 Cormorants both juvenile and adult, several pairs of Teal, a couple of pairs of Tufted Ducks, 2 Canada Geese, a great deal of Black-headed Gulls, and a few pairs of Mallards.

A lovely afternoon, although for taking photographs, I could have done with a little better light.
