Field Trip Report

Yesterday's trip to Morfa Mawddach was very well attended, 27 of us turned up despite a non too promising weather forecast. After lunch 18 of us carried on hoping to see Hawfinches. It was not to be but spirits remained high and I think we all enjoyed the treck. Thanks to Tony Allenby and Liz Snell for guiding us.
As usual, Moira recorded the birds seen -
Raven, Carrion Crow, Mistle Thrush, Robin, Magpie, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Heron, Shelduck, Curlew (30), Bullfinch, Lapwing, Cormorant, Reed Bunting, Red-breasted Merganser, Oystercatcher, Great Black-backed Gull, Mute Swan, Redshank, House Sparrow, Blackbird, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Chaffinch, Goosander, Song Thrush, Fieldfare, Redwing, Jackdaw, Teal, Wigeon, Mallard, Dunnock, Herring Gull, Little Egret, Bar-tailed Godwit, Meadow Pipit, Canada Goose, Wood Pigeon, Little Grebe, Rook, Siskin
