After spending an hour in a hide n Oxwich with my OH, two boys, dog, sister, brother in law and nephew yesterday, I decided I needed an hour to myself today.
Peace and quiet. Heaven. Arrived at Kenfig at 1st light. A sound alerted me to the kingfisher but the light was shocking. Cettis sang either side. Took me many sweeps to find the Ring-necked Duck which was what I was hoping to see. Also present were Gadwall, Goldeneye, GCG and Pochard.
Then focussed on the small stuff at the side of the hide. Great views of LTT’s and 3 or 4 Chiffchaff. Then a much paler, buff coloured appeared. The Siberian ChiffChaff that Neil had found earlier this week was present. Though Neil saw 2.
A very enjoyable hour.
