The Garganey pair were still present this morning between 11:00 and 13:00, asleep by the edge of the main W lake reed bed facing out into the main body of the lake. 

They were seen during a successful walk which I accompanied on behalf of GBC with a group of children who were on a bird recognition course with Valeplus http://www.valeplus.org.uk who are based in Barry & Llantwit and run various courses for young people with learning and related disabilities. We saw 26 species. Thanks to Steve Thomas for inviting me along – it was a pleasure.
