Blackcap Coed-y-dinas


After a some-what quiet afternoon 3 Blackcap's turned up, 1 male and 2 female, although the very dark conditions did not help with photography. A speed equivilent to 1600 iso was required on the 800mm, and these are some of the few sharper shots.
Also seen, 1 Lesser b b gull, 2 Grebe, 1 Greensandpiper, 1 Heron, Willow Warbler and a Chiff Chaff.
