Llyn Coed-y-Dinas OPEN again!

News just in from Lottie at MWT, "We’ve just opened LCYD this afternoon after closely monitoring it over the last 10 days. I’ve checked twice this week and I can see through my scope no dead birds. The Black-headed Gulls seem to be happily nesting and doing their thing.  If you visit, please keep an eye out for any dead birds, and if you see any report to us via Facebook or info@montwt.co.uk

In other news, the new Montgomeryshire Bird News whatsapp group is up and running. If you use whatsapp and would like to share immediate news of latest sightings, photos, etc, text me and I will invite you. 07708-328987
