Nice Surprise

While sitting out in the sun at work [breaktime] at RPC on Kenfig Industrial Estate, the Purple Heron seen on and off around Kenfig River marsh flew low over the factory going towards the river marsh being mobbed by Gulls. It had been in the reedbeds in the south east corner of Eglwys, an area which is no longer covered by birders. I guess we now know why it is only intermittently seen at the rivermouth - because it has been commuting between there an Eglwys. RPC is the nearest factory on the estate to Eglwys [ its the one with the silo buildings] so I am spoilt really.

Tea, sandwiches & a purple heron, not bad for a lunch break! Well done.
