15 folk came along on our Kenfig Public Walk on Saturday, welcome all, good to see old friends and some new folk. We went down to the hide where we left Martin , searching for a Bittern – he had no luck- it must have been hiding in the reeds, but he did see, in addition to our list, a Grey Heron, good views of Long Tailed Tits, and heard more than one Water Rail. Tramping through the reserve to the shore, we watched a flock of Golden Plover in the distance – no Eider duck, but did see Curlew, Turnstone, Oystercatcher, and Sanderling, 41 species see or heard between us.
