Olympic Birds?

Nice when a bit of natural history enters the olympics. In the Women's 10k open water swim in London's Serpentine, the pundits argued about the identity of an interferring waterfowl. It was clearly a Coot (Fulica atra) and not a Moorhen!

What a stunning header photo, Paul!

Birder's Bonus 241

Noted a Curlew ( Numenius arquata ) on the Loughor estuary at Bynea.
