Llys-y-fran

A single 1st-year Iceland Gull in the roost this evening (impossible to tell if it was the Withybush bird or not). A reasonable count of birds in the end, very slow with many birds arriving after 5pm, of note were around 30 Common Gulls, and Herring Gulls (many first-years) outnumbering Lesser Black-backs. A pair of Goldeneye, 50+ Canadas, c.10 Great-crested Grebe but no sign of the Black-necked, on the lower part of the main reservoir anyway.
