Glaucous Gull
Info Post
A trip down south this morning to search Carmarthen Bay produced a single Eider at Amroth, and between here and Wiseman's Bridge at least 42 Red-throated Diver, 3 Red-breasted Merganserand around 50 Common Scoter. Plenty of ducks and waders at Lawrenny Quay including 2 Grey Plover and 4 Bar-tailed Godwit. A search of likely Lesser Spotted Woodpecker habitat along the Eastern Cleddau drew a blank, but at the end of the day Llys-y-fran Reservoir came up trumps with a juvenile Glaucous Gull (the first in Pembs this year?) - a nice dark biscuit bird with a stonking dipped-in-ink bill. Also here an adult Yellow-legged Gull and 2 adult Mediterranean Gulls amongst a sizeable roost - perhaps 2,000 LBBGs and 1,000 BHGs (plus 50 odd HGs and around 15 Common Gulls).
