Guess what! its raining again, well ok its a light drizzle the forecast says its going to pass over and looking out of the study window it seems to be right.

I walk around the lake at SWP, (sandy water park) in what was a flat calm morning with light drizzle was quiet, the only thing of note was the fact that the female tufted Duck is down to just one duckling, from seven a week ago!!

I popped over to WWT Llanelli for an hour or so, in the rain, 24 Greenshank, 44 Redshank and 27 Lapwing made up the numbers.

The most interesting bird I could muster was a very wet Common Whitethroat, carrying a spider to no doubt feed some waiting chicks. ( try clicking on the photo to make it larger, you can clearly see what looks like a Garden Spider )
