It was only a whistle stop visit to a few waterbodies around Brynmawr in between the routine domestic chores. It was pleasing to see a party of around 23 wigeon at Beaufort ponds along with three goosander. At Dunlop Semtex Pond a group of 30+ very mobile gulls included this adult yellow -legged gull.
A midweek lunch break jolly around Cwmbran Boating Lake turned in the usual flock of baying Canada goose and other assorted bread feeding wildfowl. It seems the two water rail present the week before had gone, to be replaced by a pair of great black-backed gull - not a regular occurrence at this venue. Within the ever present yet flighty black-headed gull assemblage was this German ringed bird.
