Ogmore Estuary

As it was a nice day, I decided to go to Ogmore this aft to see the American Wigeons. They were still at the donwstream end of Portobello Is. Pretty distant for photos but I shot off quite a few and managed to retrieve some half decent shots. Also present was a pair of Goosander initially resting on the island, and a [Common] Ringed Plover amongst the stones. Just before I left I did a quick scan from near Portobello House and noticed a Ringed Plover ‘sp’ in a muddy gulley on the island and tho’ it was at distance I thought I could see a yellow eye ring. I headed back to nearer the island and lo & behold it was indeed a Little Ringed Plover. Year tick! There was a Willow Warbler singing behind us.
