Llyn Coed y Dinas afternoon






Lost most of the sunshine but pleased to see two Common Snipe on left hand side hide. No sign of Pochard, hundreds of Black-headed Gull, one Lesser Blackback, Teal, Tufted, two Reed Buntings. Also seen by others behind hide was a Peregrine and Red Kite.

A Heron had a pretty rough time after settling in one of the trees by the by-pass, dozens of gulls converging on it until it flew off. The photos are out of sequence !

    Pochard was there after 4 as usual at the back on the left, really good views today as there was good light.
