Ynys-hir; Saturday morning

Spent just over an hour at Ynys Feurig hide. The main flooded area again had masses of birds, the highlight being 650 teal. There was a further approx. 60 teal on the pool close to Ynys Edwin so in excess of 700 teal on this part of Ynys-hir. Other birds included 8 shoveler,  480 dunlin,750 lapwing,  3 snipe and 7 black tailed godwits. There were 2 female hen harriers on the adjacent grassland and saltmarsh, and single red kite and buzzard.
