The female mandarin was to the right of the hide first thing. Roosting with mallard. Then moved into the area where the teal roost a bit further away (also to the right of the hide on the near shore). Counts of 48 teal, 32 mallard, 22 gadwall, 6 little grebe. Est 6-7 shoveler, but no decent count of them.

A red-throated diver was foraging close in off the Oxwich Bay Hotel. Flocks of 120+ black-headed gull, 2 Med gull and small numbers of common gull also present.

A peregrine flew across the bay at Porteynon – and caused a bit of havoc in a gull flock at Slade.
