Severn Farm and Coed-y-dinas late pm



A late afternoon visit to Severn Farm produced only Mallard and Coot.

Moving off to Llyn Coed-y-dinas Sue and I found that there were now three Great Crested Grebe, all separated over different parts of the lake. A few Teal, Tufted and the Pochard male showed. A few tits, including a long tailed, showed. A very low Buzzard on the left hand side upset the Teal.

Only one Common Snipe visible, the other may have been in the vegetation.

  1. Hi Brian think there have been 3 for a week or so i was there on saturday morning briefly and took a photo of the GCG but its beak looked a little shorter than the others i wonder if this could be a juvenile from last year?
