Birder's Bonus 39





On the Loughor estuary at Bynea, numbers of Bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica) were busy feeding. Carrion crows (Corvus corone corone) were flying up with bivalves from the beach and dropping them on to hard surfaces. In my Loughor garden, a male Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) chomped away at early flowers. At the Millennium Wetlands, Llanelli, male Common shoveler (Anas clypeata) were circling in a frisky fashion and Little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) were busy diving.
