Llyn Coed y dinas afternoon



As Phil has already said, no different species on lake. A Red Kite flew over the lake, seen by Lee who I met for first time. Nice meeting you Lee and hope your first visit to Dolydd-Hafren was sucessful!

Pleased to be able to see a first winter Black-headed Gull, a nice looking bird with its yellow legs and orange/yellow bill.

    I took plenty of closer shots Phil, but you know this one seemed to work for me, putting the bird in its location.
    Pleased you found Dolydd Hafren Lee, lovely spot.
