Thank you to all those who came along to the Walk with the Warden last Saturday at WWT Llanelli, just a day too early to hear the first Cuckoo arrive on Sunday!
The weather was fine for us, with plenty going on when you stop and listen. Whitethroat and Sedge Warbler singing along the centre path; Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Wren, Cetti`s etc throughout the Reserve, and our operatic Reed Warbler down in the main reed beds.
A male Marsh Harrier was seen from the Heron`s Wing hide over the far side of the Deep Water lake, having personally seen a female MH earlier in the morning.
Lots going on on the Reserve, with the adult Kingfishers bringing in fish for their new chicks, and Lesser Whitethroat singing/calling in a few places (having arrived a couple of weeks earlier than the norm).
Anyway, a good amble around, and thank you to those who continue to support the monthly walk.
On Sunday morning there was a bit of a bonus, an early "tide watch" for a small group from the Facebook photo club, who haven`t had the chance to attend before. A good high tide, calm conditions and excellent light, I think everyone enjoyed coming along. One or two managed to glimpse a couple of Cuckoo that had arrived, later photographed by another visitor.
