Snow Bunting at Aberavon Beach

The Snow Bunting was showing well at Aberavon Beach, this morning. Not at it's more commonly found location but this time showing along the beach and dunes between the car park off Scarlet Ave and the Naval Social Club. A 300m stretch centre grid ref SS 7321 9083. Also of note was the complete lack of water bird numbers in Baglan Bay in reasonable conditions for viewing the entire Bay; 2m Common Scoter, no divers and 11 Great Crested Grebe.
