Glossy ibis - Marloes

Fortunate to get a really good look at the Glossy this morning as it fed just out from N Hide. Interesting to see it feeding alongside a coot, moorhen and mallard. The coot pushed it off but it would just move a few yards and next moment they'd be side-by-side. The way it was gulping stuff down it was finding plenty to snack on. Other birds: 3 shelduck, cormorant and 2 swifts. Earlier at the Gann: 2 shelduck and 2 Heron. Kete: 2 young wheatear with a female, another pair seen, 1 chough, and a couple of male stonechats. Noticed plenty of goldfinch along the lanes today.
