A Gargle inducing Gargantuan Garganey Fest, Ogmore - 16/04/2014

Seeing on Glam Birding forum this afternoon that unbelievable SEVEN garganeys turned up at Ogmore settled my mind into going down straight after work. On arrival at Portobello they were now up river as was pointed out kindly by a couple of other birders. From the bridge by the water works I could see them just land out of sight a fair way off on the left channel, but they were soon up again, and flying in loops.One loop came close enough for a couple of record shots.




They then settled again further up the estuary, but were soon off again up river towards the castle, and out of sight. There were five drakes and two females!

Amazing record for Glamorgan, and a lifer for me!
