Llyn Coed Y Dinas PM

Popped down to the reserve for an hour this afternoon and there was plenty to see. Great Crested Grebe still hanging around the back of the lake, getting dive bombed by Black Headed Gulls. A Red Kite landed in the dead tree with some kind of bird, not sure what though, but was soon chased off by a Magpie. The afternoon was topped off with with this stunning Fox patrolling the shoreline. Other birds seen include Tufted Duck, Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff, Teal, and Common Sandpiper.
