Happening to glance out of the Visitor Centre window I noticed something slowly walking across the ice on the pool below the car-park. Quickly getting the centre scope on it I realised it was a bittern walking in full view to a small patch of reeds, where the water was unfrozen. As I write it is still there catching a few morsels on the edge of the ice.
Otherwise fairly quiet on the reserve today though a spotted redshank and a sanderling on the edge of the Dyfi near the Domen las hide were suprises as were 21 bar-tailed godwits from the Breakwater hide.
