Very good views of a Water Rail at the Teifi Marshes Reserve today - after a bit of a wash and brush-up he had a good long nap, in view for about half an hour - plus 10 Snipe, some Little Egrets and a Grey Heron which caught an eel and ate it in open view. I arrived in the Creek Hide at about 08.00, another birder had already been there for an hour, I stayed until noon. No trace of the Spotted Crake!
I joined John Davis and guests at Lansantffraed for some more birding in the afternoon.
Later Lulu, Buster and me took our afternoon walk close to home and had a very close encounter with an adult female Sparrowhawk.
