Decided on a change from the mud of Cosmeston and went across the barrage this morning. There were two v smart pairs of Goosander by the jetty at the exit of Penarth Marina lock. So difficult to get the eye to show esp in the males, but the fem with her back to me had a catchlight. There was a bunch of House Spadgers by the apartments there, incl a fem with nest material! On the barrage itself a PIed Wag was chasing off a Grey Wag quite agressively, and a Raven was on the grass at the far end. I thought the pattern on the imm Mute Swan was quite eye-catching.
