MEGA - LITTLE BLUE HERON in Carmarthenshire
A juvenile LITTLE BLUE HERON, perhaps the recent Galway bird from Ireland,
has today been identified in Carmarthenshire this afternoon, feeding at low tide
on the Gwendraeth Estuary, SSW of Kidwelly. It was initially watched at Banc y
Lord until 1650 before flying across to Coed Bach. It represents the FIRST
record for BRITAIN.
DIRECTIONS
Park in Kidwelly (Cydweli) and walk south for half a mile. Pass under the
railway bridge to the footpath to view the estuary
