A very nice selection of waterbirds at Llyn Mynydd Gorddu yesterday
evening, as follows -
Tufties - at least 2 males and 4 females.
Teal - several birds present, males and females
Coot - 2
Little grebe - at least one pair present
Mallard - several
Also a stock dove.
There are still apparently unmated red kites around Salem, yesterday about
lunch time there were eight in the air together. After studying some
photographs I can see that some are clearly still in the paler immature plumage,
while some appear to be adults. There is also one bird with several secondaries
missing in both wings; one wing also seems to have its inner primary
missing.
