Managed to grab a couple of hours late this afternoon. The drake Ring-necked duck was looking nice, if a bit distant, in the setting sun at Rosebush. 9 Tufted duck (7m) and a drake Goldeneye visible, others probably out of sight.
Later than usual getting to Llys-y-fran, lots of gulls already on the water at 4:15pm, majority up around the hide so had to view from distance. The small biscuity coloured juvenile Iceland gull appeared at 5pm,with at least 7 Yellow-legged gulls (6 adults and a 2cy), quite a few smart looking Herring gulls and hooded BH gulls coming into breeding plumage, 10-15 Common gull, 2 adult GBB gulls patrolling menacingly, just a single adult Med gull. The last waves of gulls came in from the west this evening. 3 Goldeneye (2m), 4 GC grebe pairing up and courting, a Little egret flew in at dusk had a brief fish along the eastern arm before heading off and a female Goosander.
