COED-Y-DINAS , MORNING

The only reportable species was a Little Grebe very close to the bottom end adjoining the by-pass, most of the time right into the reed bed.
Pochard still visible, the Common Snipe was very difficult to see, and some time was spent trying to locate one for other visitors amongst the vegetation.
Hope the Dipper showed itself at Newtown.
