Cold rain

 I think that I mentioned recently that there seem to be no birds on Pant Pool (Llanddewi Brefi). Not few birds or no interesting birds, no birds at all. There looks to be something on the surface and I can't help but think that there has been a pollution leak from the farm/slurry tank adjoining it. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but in my experience it seems unprecedented for this site.

There was a GW Egret on the marsh immediately to the north of the pool. At Pont Gogoyan, 19 Mute Swans (5 more at Pont Einon) and a male Goosander. Three more male Goosanders at Maes Llyn pool with a pair of Gadwall and a Coot. At Pont Einon, 2 Little Egrets, a female Goosander and 60 Lapwings.
