Penarth and LCyd

It has been a fairly quiet weekend.  Penarth on Saturday saw a Little Grebe and a juvenile Robin.  The Kingfisher did show briefly, but it was too far away to get a meaningful picture.




Decided to try my luck at LCyd in the afternoon with  Heron and Cormorants fishing in front of the hide.


And again on Sunday with Willow Warblers and a pair of Bullfinch (thanks Mark for spotting them!).  Only managed to get a picture of the male, the female was hidden beneath lots of vegetation.



No sign of the Kingfisher, this shot was taken the previous weekend where he perched in front of the hide for 10 minutes or so.
