You say - only Coot, but don't look away!
Trefeiddan Marsh, mid AM today, 2 Coots.
There are just two significant bodies of water that fall within the count area that we have watched annually since 2005 here near Pencarnan: Trefeiddan Marsh and Treleddyn Pond. Both attract a good variety of water species, though in small numbers.
Today's Coot sighting on the marsh was a first for us. Previous records show 2 in 2010 and a single in 2016, all at Treleddyn Pond. So today's sighting was a bit special.
So too the Ring-tailed Hen Harrier that quartered the marsh flushing Moorhens, Mallards, Shoveler, Snipe, a possible Redshank - and of course, the Coots.
It's always difficult to appreciate what's lurking in Trefeiddan's vegetated shallows without the helping hand of a harrier. J and M
