Another day in Carms, started at Glan yr Afon reserve,Kidwelly, to see the Grey Phalarope. At Kidwelly Quay I had distant views of distant Osprey fishing, then after a session at WWT Llanelli it was back to Glan yr Afon reserve to see the Lesser Yellowlegs refound by the local friendly gang

What a patch, what a year! Lisvane & Llanishen Reservoirs have been amazing starting with the great northern diver and finishing with a black throated diver. I wonder what 2025 will bring🤔😋
