A classic autumn migration day at the reservoirs, with lots of birds on the move. Highlights included:

Lisvane: 1 hobby, 1 Mediterranean gull (my first ever here) among 42 BH gulls, 3 common sandpiper, 1 green sandpiper, 1 kingfisher. Also 3 pochard, 43 Canadas, 2 mutes etc.

Llanishen: 1 juv BN grebe (better views today suggested that this is indeed the buff-cheeked juv previously on Lisvane Res) among the numerous little grebes, 1 shoveller, 3 wigeon, 8 teal, c10 tufted ducks now including just 1 duckling, 2 pochards, 8 mallards, 1 heron, 1 clouded yellow (also my first here).
