We went to the Breakwater Hide, arriving just after Russell left and saw many but not all of the birds he mentions below. On our way back to the car park we stopped at Ynys Eidiol hide where we were fascinated to see a Grass Snake swim towards us in the lake below. It's only the second time I've ever witnessed a Grass Snake swimming, but blow me down, a minute later we saw another one do the same. AND, after leaving the hide, a short way along the track we happened upon another handsome specimen.
In the afternoon we visited New Quay where amongst other delights we saw 1 Peregrine, 2 Chough, 4 or 5 Stonechats, 2 Seals and 3 Bottle-nosed Dolphins.
