Further signs of birds being moved by the current snowy weather this moring. A walk up round Parc Taf Bargoed and CCF brought 2 more Woodcock (though 1 was probably the bird I photographed yesterday as it was less than 100m from were yesterdays bird had roosted). More of a surprise were 2 Snipe at PTB - my first at this site. The first came out of a flash in woodland, calling and showing the white trailing edge well. The second came up from the side of the upper lake, flew off high without a sound and did not appear to have a white trailing edge to the wing. I had seen it before it flew and it was def a Snipe, rather than Jack or Great and looked to richly coloured to be Wilson's.
6 Teal was a site record for me as was 8 Goosanders. One of the Muscovy Ducks looks to have gone - Fox (or a locals dog) victim or succumbed to the recent sub zero temps?
A big surprise was a fine male Brambling feeding at one of the properties that overlooks the settling beds - a year tick pulled back on Messrs Bevan and Hill.
