Otter sightings

Three Otters were photographed last week on a small pond near Llanrhidian (two of them shown below).
On the Carmarthenshire side of the estuary a dead dog Otter was found by Mark Newton on the A484.

Hen Harriers at Llanrhidian

Paul Tyrrell called to let me know that there were 2, possibly 3, male, and 1 female Hen Harriers and a Barn Owl at Llanrhidian marsh this evening.

Harriers at Llanrhidian

Neil Edwards just reported that 4 Hen Harriers came in to roost on the marsh this evening, however, he was more surprised to see them joined by a Red Kite at one stage! The kite was buzzed by one of the female Hen Harriers who, unlike Neil, was clearly not impressed by its presence. Neil saw what was probably the same kite earlier in the day a little further east at Wernffrwd.
