I’m a bit tardy posting this as I’ve had a stinking cold since getting home on Sunday. Anyway, we had a great club field trip on Sunday 28th, when 21 Club members enjoyed a full day visiting Pembrey Old Dock by Burry Port, Kidwelly Quay, WWT Llanelli and for some stalwarts, the R. Loughor foreshore [an attempt to ‘twitch’ a Lesser Yellowlegs … unsuccessfully]. We logged 64 species of which the waders were the stars, with the top of the bill being the Grey Phalarope at Kidwelly. Those that had seen Grey Phal before had mostly never seen one other than swimming around in circles as they usually do but this one behaved like a ‘proper’ wader and spent some time waddling around on the mud. The waders total was an impressive 15 species the other notable ones being Spotted Redshank, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruff and Greenshank. Click here for the full list.
