Yellow-legged Gull influx

There were 2 juv Y-l Gulls on the scrape at WWT this morning (plus later the Spoonbill & Lesser Yellowlegs appeared). Called in at Loughor Bridge on the way back and there was an adult and another juv YLG there too. RHAT informs me there was a 3rd summer bird at WWT yesterday, so at least 5 in the Burry in the last 2 days. The waders at WWT have been spending a lot of time feeding on the Glamorgan side the last few days. Rob had 675 Blackwits and the Ruff on the mudflats off Dalton’s Point this morning. I saw the godwit flock last night also plus 5 Knot and a s/p Grey Plover. Let’s hope the Yellowlegs with follow suite eventually.

  1. I’d like to blame predictive text, but sadly I can’t. Like most of my posts, it was done in haste, hence the usual spelling mistakes which are probably my trademark. Scanned through over 600 Herring Gulls this evening and noted just one more YLG at Penclawdd, but possibly one of the Penclacwydd birds.
