Back to Pwll Penarth

Spent the Morning hoping for the Kingfisher and Sandpiper and neither were happy to oblige although the Kingfisher had been seen on the perch closest to the hide and the 2 Sandpiper where just to flighty, Plenty of Reed Warbler about though and Sand Martins checking out the bank, Sedge Warbler heard but not seen. Also and the highlight of my day were 3 Otters fishing by the Weir see  http://midwalesnature.blogspot.co.uk/

    problem with the otters Mark is you can't guarantee where they are going to be, they seem to be the same playful otters I filmed back in October and that was down the river on Vaynor so they obviously have a large stretch of river, but if you don't try you won't know!
