Many thanks to Strinda Davies for leading this morning’s Glamorgan Bird Club monthly walk at Kenfig. An enjoyable couple of hours birding despite weather conditions which started wet and breezy and then deteriorated. In total we saw or heard some 35 species and the highlights were a distant drake Scaup (good find by Tate Lloyd), several Goldeneye, 2 Great Black-backed Gulls and a Sparrowhawk.
