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.
