Spoonbill on the Burry

Wendell Thomas saw the immature Spoonbill fly off the scrape at WWT this morning, it then headed off and was high over Berthlwyd before turning round and dropping on to the estuary. Also note this bird first appeared at WWT on the 7th April, the same day the long-staying adult departed. It may be worth checking from Loughor Bridge for this bird when it's absent from WWT.
