Weather for the Ducks

Sunday is here again and I started the morning up in Dare Valley country park trying to add to my list. The Tufted  Ducks were still present the total is now ten and fifteen Mallard and just for you boys nine joking ducks. Also on site there were four Little Grebes and four Moorhen, but best of all were fourteen coot. What a great bird and the bird of the day. Next work or Cwm Cadlan mmm this a hard one than it started raining and Cwm Cadlan it is then. I stopped at the gropper site first and found one soggy Red Kite sitting on a rock . Great start new bird number one and then I stopped by the cattle grid and there were loads Fieldfare and Starling by the farm and one more Kite and Kestrel over the ridge. I  then had a person year tick as a car pulled up and Kevin Hughes got out. He must feel the cold more than me as he was almost shaking with the cold and went off towards Llwyn Onn res. I parked by the cattle grid by the Forest and walked over the Cadlan and first I found some droppings and then flushed a Jack Snipe. Year tick number two and I had a great view as it flew over me and went off over the forest. Time to head back. I also took the dogs over to Abernant and I found some Scarlet Elf Cups which was a first for me and was cheesed off as I had the wrong lens for the camera. I will try and get better shots tomorrow.
