Llyn Coed-y-Dinas photos, and Pwll Penarth news

 

Many thanks to Tony Coatsworth for these three images, taken yesterday: Water Rail, Green Sandpiper and Kingfisher. There was also a drake Pochard yesterday, an unusual bird in the county these days. Today I saw a Common Sandpiper there and two Great Egrets. Please note that the MWT work parties there on September 17th and 18th will be working in front of the hide, trimming willows and reducing reeds.


Thanks also to Tammy Stretton, for news of a Hen Harrier female or immature over Welshpool Golf Course yesterday. 

Meanwhile, I was at Pwll Penarth Reserve today with a MWT work party, preparing for major excavation operations this winter. Heavy equipment will be brought in to create new lagoons, reduce reeds and willow, and improve viewing. The soundscape was dominated all day by a trilling Little Grebe.
