Had a couple of hours at Kenfig Pool today. A quick look in the hide gave what was probably expected - tufties, GCG etc.
Cetis Warbler heard but not seen:-C
Two very well behaved dogs in the hide. The owner was from the area but now living in Sutherland. Quite a coincidence as that's where we're heading in 8 days time.
Wandered down to the river mouth in the hope that the Purple Heron was there - it wasn't or it was out of sight. Had a distant view of a falcon harrying Skylarks. On shape, to me, it looked like a Kestrel. Plenty of Linnets, Goldies, Whimbrel (4), Warblers, female Bullfinch, mippits etc. around. Added the following to the list:
120. Sedge Warbler
121. Reed Warbler
122. Swift
123. Common Sandpiper
124. Garden Warbler
Rich
