Seeing the Changes 2122

 









Lots of activity in the Wildfowl and Wetland's Millennium Wetlands. Bracket fungus and Dandelion (Taraxacum vulgare). Insects included Bluebottle (Caliphora vomitoria); Drone fly (Eristalis tenax) and home-seeking Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris). Wild water birds included Common shoveler (Anas clypeata); European pochard (Aythya ferina) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Carrion crows (Corvus corone corone) were checking out land-based food sources.

Waders on the Loughor estuary. Spotted a male Siskin ( Carduelis spinus ) at about the same location on land.
