Llys-y-fran

It seemed all the gulls were on the water when I arrived at 4pm with very few arriving before the light went. What looked like the adult Caspian was still there and a single adult Yellow-legged gull. 15 Mediterranean gulls and the big adult GBB was flying around noisily, and appeared to unsettle the roost, likely a ploy to reveal a target. Min 12 GC grebe with lots of courtship and 11 goldeneye (7m) also courting. Nice to see the days drawing out and the many song thrushes in good voice.
