I popped down to WWT Llanelli as I haven't visited for over a week, it looked pretty bleak but soon things improved.
One of the highlights was 469 Black tailed Godwits dropping in, with at least six juveniles in stunning plumage, these are the sub species "islandica" and as the name suggests these birds probably bred in Iceland.

Yesterday a 1st summer Yellow Legged Gull had been reported and I picked it up preening on a grassy island, a bit far for a decent photo, but the very light head and heavy dark bill are good diagnostic features.

A tricky moment? |
