The Long-tailed Duck was showing well by the inner barrage this morning, following a pair of Mallard to and fro from the sails to the Penarth end, mostly v close in, except when a couple’s children thought it would be fun to throw stones at them! Had my dog with me which made taking pix a little difficult as she wanted to play with all the other passing hounds! Didn’t affect the LTD tho’. Water was dead calm so it was easy to follow the LTD under water. Tried a few under the water shots!.

Came upon the Black Redstart in Pen Marina on way back to car, flitting around on the roofs at the barrage end of Plas Taliesin.
