Back home in Wales

Home again leaving behind France for at least another couple of months.

Anxious to get out and see some of the birds on my patch.  I began with three Bewick's Swans at Rhosmaen.  This species is much scarcer here than Whooper Swan.

Then on to Talley Lakes for a look at the wildfowl.  Perusing 50 Tufted Ducks I soon found the female Ring-necked Duck (picture of a captive taken at Slimbridge).  Also there were 5 Goosander and 4 Goldeneye.



A quick look from the bridge at Edwinsford revealed a Dipper too.  Year list up to 100 so far.
