One of our birds of the week was a drake Common Scoter that turned during the Low-tide Wetland Bird Survey. It looked tired as it sat on the far bank from the Carneddau hide.
Other ducks seen on the low-tide count included a drake Goldeneye, 4 Shoveler, Pochard, Gadwall, 3 Shelduck, 76 Teal, 64 Wigeon, 3 Red-breasted Merganser and a pair of Goosanders all seen on or from the reserve.
We are getting more and more sightings of Water Rail everyday now.
There are now 16 Black-tailed Godwits on the shallow lagoon. A lone Grey Wagtail landed next to them on the 21st.
It has been a good week for mammal sightings. An Otter was seen by the Ganol on the 22nd. Badger hairs, have been seen, a Fox was about on the 18th and a Pipistrelle Bat spp, was seen around the car park on the 19th. A Stoat is seen almost daily along the estuary or in the wildlife garden.
