Birding In Wales

Today four of us went over to west Wales to look for the Pacific Diver that has been seen there !& on the way there we had 2 RED KITE near Carmarthen , we then arrived at the Lls-Y-Fran reservoir in Pembrokeshire & after a bit of a walk we connected with the that we had come for the PACIFIC DIVER , also seen on the reservoir were 8 GREAT CRESTED GREBE , a BLACK-NECKED GREBE & a BLACK-THROATED DIVER .
We then headed back towards Cardiff & stopped at the Lisvane Reservoir near Llanishen where we saw a 60+ TUFTED DUCK , 2 LITTLE GREBE & a SPOTTED SANDPIPER that had just started to show spots .
Our last stop of the day was at Portbury in Bristol for the Male RING-NECKED DUCK that has been at this site for quite a while , also seen were 12 GADWALL & a Female GOLDENEYE .
