A great group day trip yesterday – At least 4 purple sandies on the rocks at Ogmore first thing. At Whiteford, amongst the expected species, we had snipe, jack snipe, slavonian grebe, but only one distant GND. Whilst looking at the GND an auk sp. was briefly in view. At Llanrhidian Marsh – Great whites, hen harriers, an unexpected marsh harrier, and merlin. 88 species for the day. RW, DJJ, GJJ et al.
