Coed-y-dinas morning

No sign of Med Gull, but it could be lurking somewhere!

A pair of  G C Grebe were displaying, and at least three Reed Warblers were in front of the hide but very difficult to photograph. Photo is a huge crop from only a couple of reasonable images, try clicking on image!

    Bugger - I looked through the gulls a number of times over a couple of hours before I spotted it - then something spooked the lot and lost sight - reappeared from God knows where so guess it could be anywhere

    No problem Mark, I have had Med Gull at CYD before, nice to have an excuse to get out. Maybe I will have another try, the main thing is you had an excellent image of it.
