The first migrants ahead of storm "Kate"....... Yesterday (Friday 25th) I had my first sighting of Northern Wheatear on the reserve at Pembrey, the were a bit too active to get a photo, there will be opportunity later in the spring I hope. A stroll around my local "patch" at Sandy Water Park in the evening found the male Goldeneye still on the lake, plus the first Sand Martins (10) that I have seen this spring distant male Goldeneye A mix of winter and summer, as the day had been perfect clear blue skies and warm sunshine, not so good for migrant watching but a lovely day to enjoy the area. Great Crested Grebe I don't often spend any time taking photos of the local wildfowl but the light was so interesting yesterday evening it was hard to walk on by. male Mallard female (L) & male (R) Gadwall female Tufted Duck, looks like its swimming in molten metal this should be an easy "mystery bird" On Thurs
