Garganey at Kenfig Saltmarsh

The Drake Garganey, found this afternoon by Dave Carrington, was showing fairly well early evening. It was showing mainly around the flooded saltmarsh area, but did on one occasion do a loop of the area, which took it into NPT airspace! A few Eurasian Teal were knocking about and were generally quite mobile around the saltmarsh in the couple of hours that we were there till 19:00, but no sign of the Green-winged Teal during this period (MHi, DCo, RJ). Also prior to our arrival Neil Donaghy had seen the Garganey and flushed a single Jack Snipe near the footbridge.
