Coed-y-dinas Sunday afternoon



An hour or so at Coed-y-dinas provided us with many House Martins, a single Common Sandpiper, 2 Kingfisher, 6 Lapwing, Sedge Warbler and a Reed Warbler, 2 G C Grebe.

The image shows what I think is a juvenile Chiffchaff.

A Fox in lovely condition was observed, non of your scruffy old town Foxes here, which spent over an hour sun bathing at the bottom of the reserve.

Nice to see you Edd!

      This was our trip to Mull in April. The first few days were very mixed weather wise, but the last three were superb. The light quality was excellent.
