Apart from a Peregrine sat on the marsh it was pretty hopeless at WWT.
When Nick arrived we had a walk around SWP, and a drive down to Kidwelly Quay.
At Kidwelly Quay there were a few waders, with over 100 Redshank, 20 or so Dunlin, a Whimbrel and quite a few Curlew, the highlight was a juvenile Spotted Redshank, pictures are a bit dodgy so we'll skip over them.
This evening the Carmarthenshire Bird Club had a TERN watch organised along near Burry Port, with high tide at 19:15hrs we arrived to meet everyone at 17:30hrs and had a great couple of hours.
60+ Sandwich Tern, 3 Little Tern, 6+ Gannet, 4 Common Sandpiper, 41 Ringed Plover, 9 Med' Gull including three juveniles, three Sanderling, three Rock Pipits, one Northern Wheater and over 600 Oystercatchers.
