Dolydd Hafren

Spent the morning on the reserve, many of the female ducks are missing from last week, most likely sitting on eggs now. Still plenty to see though, the highlights being a pair of Hobby circling over the second hide for around 15 minutes. Other species included Kingfisher, Great Egret, Little Egret, Cormorant, Mandarin, Oystercatcher, Goosander, Curlew, Chiffchaff, Red Kite, Buzzard, Shelduck, Hare, and Otter.
