Spoonbill at Penclacwydd

Spoonbill "yawning?"

The immature Spoonbill was still at Penclacwydd WWT this afternoon. While I was there the it spent 99.9% of the time asleep, luckily for me when it did raise it's head the Avocet was in the background. Happy days...

The 'pair'

The 'loner'

Three Avocets appeared on the saline lagoon today, leading to speculation that they may stay and breed. Other birds of note seen included Short-eared Owl, Pink-footed Goose, Brent Goose, 14 Whimbrel and 6 Greenland Wheatears.
