Cardiff Bay Wetland, Cardiff Bay and the Marl

Plenty bits and bobs around this evening. At CBWR 2 sedge warbler, 1 reed warbler, 3 snipe and 1 male redstart of note.

Cardiff Bay - 7 common tern, 1st sum little gull and 1st sum med gull, also leucistic black headed gull of note.

Whilst walking back home bumped into a 1st winter Iceland gull on the Marl playing fields. It settled briefly allowing me enough time to look at it through the scope. Sadly too many dog walkers to allow it to settle for long. Frustratingly I did not have my IPhone with me to take a record shot. All in all a good evening.
