Llys y Fran

Highlights of a walk at Llys y Fran this afternoon were a Black-necked Grebe (presumed returning bird - 3 successive winters?) and a red-head Goosander. Also 7 Goldeneye, 2 Tufted Duck, 3 Great-crested Grebe, 7 Coot, c.20 Mallard & 2 Cormorant. Decent gathering of gulls by the time I left just before 4.30, included a single Yellow-legged Gull, around 20 Common Gull, 50 Black-headed and several hundred Lesser Black-backs with slightly less Herrings (the latter mostly juveniles).
