Newport Wetlands - 20/05/2012

The sun was shining this afternoon so we decided to try going to Newport Wetlands by driving along the coastal road. There were quite a lot of visitors around, but within minutes we heard and then saw a Sedge Warbler just up past the first screens inside one of the closed off areas. A female Pochard was keeping a close eye on her brood at the edge of the reed bed, and we were sure we saw a Cuckoo making a dash over the reeds after hearing one nearby.
