COED-Y-DINAS PM





Managed to photograph the two young Reed Warblers which are doing very well. The Great-Crested Grebe are mating. Pair of Green Sandpiper on first island, very difficult to photograph as reed heads always seemed to be in the way. 12 Mute Swan, pair Lesser Black-backed gulls

    Thanks Mark, its great to be back in Mont. It's been a very difficult year for birding, the wet weather has really messed things up, but there seems to be a real effort by some birds to get things going again; maybe they know that we are getting a warm September/October.

    Hope so - house martins are in the process of building another nest which is a tad ambitious!
