I had a tip off that the yellowlegs was absent from WWT yesterday so I paid a couple of visits to Penclawdd Pill (lunch time and evening) as Tringas often interchange between these two sites, which lie on opposite sides of the estuary. There were 44 Redshank at lunch time (including 4 juvs – prob not from the Burry) and over 100 in the evening, though I only saw ~50% of these well enough. Just thought worth mentioning that if you’re passing there it could be worthwhile stopping to check the flock out (go to the west end of Penclawdd car park, the birds normally gather on the bend of the pill there), it’s been a long time since a yellowlegs visited Glamorgan…

PS. It’s back at WWT today (info. Rob Hunt).
