Highlight was this rather poorly marked garganey on Lisvane (thanks to Shane Faulkner and Mark Hipkin for the ID advice). Apologies for the dodgy photos -it was a long way off! Just about visible are: pale loral spot, pale chin/throat, dark cheek bar, dark lower mandible on longish dark grey bill.

Also at Lisvane: 10 sand martins (passage), 1 little egret, 1 grey heron, 2 little grebes, 8 GC grebes (including a pair still on eggs on the floating platform), 8 pochard, 11 mallard, 2 mute swans, 100+ tufties and lots of coots. On Llanishen: 1 mallard and 1 grey heron.
