Teifi marshes;-
Whilst watching a Barn Owl hunt then then perch by the presumed "sand martin nestsite" a Merlin appeared, mobbed it, driving it off.
Whilst showing a couple the owl, they were delighted to tell me how they were shown a Bittern during the week, at around midday, seen flying in the Kingfisher hide area.
