Another day in Carms, started at Glan yr Afon reserve,Kidwelly, to see the Grey Phalarope. At Kidwelly Quay I had distant views of distant Osprey fishing, then after a session at WWT Llanelli it was back to Glan yr Afon reserve to see the Lesser Yellowlegs refound by the local friendly gang

The little egret was showing off its fresh yellow socks this morning alongside the grey heron near the causeway on #lisvane reservoir in 1.5c of chill #glambirding

The exotic alexandrine parakeet performed very nicely in Bute Park yesterday, even getting close and personal with a rose collared parakeet #glambirding #birdinginwales

Whilst the black throated diver frustrates by staying in the middle of Llanishen reservoir, the female ring necked duck pleases by staying close to the visitor centre on Lisvane reservoir #glambirds #birdinginwales

The female ring necked duck returned to Lisvane Reservoir today along with a green sandpiper #glambirding

Nice to see the Black throated diver still on Llanishen reservoir on New Year’s Day. It was only competing with 2 hardy swimmers today😬. #glambirds

A tad early for the little terns😐

Both red necked grebe and black necked grebe made appearances at Lisvane and Llanishen reservoirs in 2024

What a patch, what a year! Lisvane & Llanishen Reservoirs have been amazing starting with the great northern diver and finishing with a black throated diver. I wonder what 2025 will bring🤔😋
