Water Pipits from the Thaw
5 of 13+ Water Pipit at the Thaw River
A large group of Water Pipits feeding on the Thaw River floodplain south of the B4265. They were in a mixed group, feeding here with Pied Wagtails, Meadow Pipits and Chaffinch. Also here 5 Little Egret but no luck with the Glossy Ibis.
Six Water Pipits visible around midday but not on the flat area. Difficult to view as they were in a gulley by a wire fence to the west of the B4265 bridge over the river. Only poss to stand by the road on the E side of the bridge.

Great record, can't recall any being reported there previously.
Great find, Great record!
Well done. The count of 13 is the highest for Glamorgan [vc41].
