A visiting couple from Perthshire (Mr. & Mrs B.H. Thompson) reported seeing a phalarope at fairly close quarters on Cors Fochno today. They were fairly certain it was a grey, but there was no sign of the bird when I looked later. It was on one of the flooded ditches close to the south-east corner of the circular boardwalk which is accessed from the track along the west edge of Llancynfelyn Common from the B4353.
