Re:Glossy Ibis and Bittern at Borth

Sorry this is a bit late but no time until today to post. On Tuesday I went to look for the Glossy, as I wasn't sure exactly where the bird had been seen I tried the fields around the Leri without succes and moved on towards Borth stopping off by the newish wooden horse shed on the Borth golf course. There is similar fencing to that showing on Janet's photos. Just to the Borth side of the shed and behind it are some pools of water and backed by reeds, as I scanned this area a bittern walked out of the reeds and along the edge before going back into the reeds. Just luck on my part. At the Glossy site, in the field to the north of the Community Hall the bird was showing well and it showed the breeding plummage blue edging around both upper and lower mandibles.
