Things are pretty quiet at the moment. Two days ago 3 Teal [1m 2f] flew out of one of the ‘rides’ in the snipe enclosure and Hawfinch have been seen recently athough not by me. Today the female Scaup from Cardiff Bay was on west lake, 3 drake Pochard are still hanging around plus a few Tufted Ducks. Little Grebes are whinnying and two pairs of Great Crested Grebes have been displaying. By east lake shore this morning there was a lot of pretty vigorous fighting between drake Mallards. A Jay was hopping around in the trees behind the bird table and eventually showed well enough for me to grab a shot. Looking forward to the first Sand Martins over W lake in the next week or two.
