A very obliging Jack Snipe was sat up on a tree trunk left behind on the salt marsh by a high tide. My first record of one here. Many Canada Geese, 100+ but not counted and 22 Lapwings.
At the river mouth 381 Sanderlings on the Aberavon side and a Wigeon in the channel. A Peregrine came in to cause a bit of panic and made a couple of relaxed circuits of Crymlyn Burrows beach, seemingly looking for a weaker bird to pursue? Later, a long chase given to a Dunlin was unsuccessful. On the sea 7 Great Crested Grebes off Aberavon Beach and a few Mediterranean Gulls slowly heading west.

Stunner!
hard enough to get a snap of at the best of times!very tidy!
That’s amazing! Pity it’s not in E Glam o/w that would be a defo for the 2013 report!
Great shot!
Nice one Mark tried on 3 occasions in maesteg last year the bird was too quick and well hidden flew up from my feet every time bugger.
Excellent shot Mark. Definitely one for the Gower Report.
Amazing opportunity and great shot Mark, well done.
That’s one of the best Jack Snipe pictures I’ve ever seen – well done Mark!
Many thanks for all the comments, most appreciated.
