Dolydd Hafren

Fairly quiet on the reserve on Saturday.  A couple of Little Egret, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Common Sandpiper, Canada Geese, Reed Bunting, Teal, and Cormorant.  The fields next to the farm at the top of the track had a mix of gulls including Black Headed, Lesser Black-backed, and Herring.  The shingle beach by the second hide seems to be collecting a fair bit of rubbish, the highlight being an armchair.

    I'm assuming I saw the same hare, and his/her mate, last week. (If someone could give me some pointers on attaching a photo I will).
