Llyn Coed-y-Dinas news.

 


With a rise in water level of about 3 feet, I guess the Great Egrets felt out of their depth, and were fishing elsewhere, but the Coot was able to reach the Bulrush seeds, normally way out of reach. A female Pochard kept company with a Tufted Duck, and a Kingfisher flashed past. As I hope you all realise, as Warden I am the only one to have a key for the hide, but I hope you appreciate these updates until life returns to what it should be.
