Ynys Feurig this morning

No sign of the LRP's but great birding. Highlights a great white egret, spotted redshank, turnstone, 4 black tailed godwits and 2 knot. 32 teal, 14 wigeon, 2 pintail and a single black swan. Other migrants included a wheatear, 9 white wagtails, 6 sand martins, a swallow and a house martin.
36 curlew on the river Several willow warblers and blackcaps on the walk in.

Had a very strange sighting yesterday morning of a female hen harrier heading north on the hill on the west side of Bow St!
