Well there was a large response to last Saturday`s Walk with the warden as 38 came along, the largest group I think we`ve had. Thank you everyone for supporting it. The next one will be on Saturday 21st November at 11.30am.
It`s great to see some changes now in autumn, and yesterday I had my first Merlin locally for this autumn/winter. Not always easy to see at a distance as it`s our smallest UK falcon, about the size of a Blackbird, but yet another sign that winter is on it`s way.

It`s such a pity that WWT Llanelli will be closed on even more days from November until February, as winter arrivals will be building up. Merlin are part of the winter raptors that are seen, and are normally best viewed with a `scope from the British Steel hide. Peregrine, Buzzard, Red Kite, Sparrowhawk and Marsh Harrier are all regular birds of prey, so hoping that we`ll have good Hen Harrier sightings this year too.
Enjoy getting out and about whenever you can.
