Garganey flock at Ogmore Estuary
Somewhat gobsmacked to find seven Garganey at Portobello, Ogmore Estuary, this morning.
An excellent record. This is the second highest total ever seen in VC41 for this species. The highest was at Llan/Lis Res. 9 on 5/03/1969 (Amy Heathcote et al). That year was particularly good for this species with over 20 seen. Nice to GP & AH with a happy finder NPR, this am. Regards Frank & the Bellboy

Very well done Paul. That's an amazing local scene and nicely captured too.
