Some nice birds around today. A 3rd W Herring Gull was feeding with 35 LBB at Warren Road, the Green Sandpiper was on the brook and a flock of 30 Redpoll were feeding in birch at the entrance to Ffrwdgrech Ind Est. Down at the lake a pair of Shelduck were resting in the sailing club meadow. 26 Gadwall and 22 Shoveler were in front of the hide but only 4 Pochard (3m1f). Up to 7 Water Rail were calling around the lake and 9 Snipe flushed. The gull roost included the Yellow-legged, a Common and 3 Herring including the Warren Road bird. As dusk drew in 2 GW Egret were still feeding as was the Little Egret and 5-10,000 Starling went to roost by the hide.
