6 Ring-necked Duck at Margam Opencast

 Some 2 weeks ago Paul Roberts visited Margam Opencast and to his astonishment he found 6 Ring-necked Ducks, a species from North America seldom seen in Glamorgan. They are still present today and were approachable to within 30 yards. Spent most of the time sleeping with bouts of feeding and were the only ducks on the lake, although there were 2 Mute Swan and a Canada Goose present also.



On the way back Mynydd Ty-Talwyn held 4 Red Kite, 13 Linnet and unusually 19 Rook.
