| Song Thrush singing |
At last the winds have abated and the first noticeable thing stepping out into the garden is the arrival of bird song. I heard Song Thrush, Great Tit, Robin and Dunnock this morning.

| Black-tailed Godwits feeding at Penclacwydd |
I decided to go out and headed for Penclacwydd. The wildfowl were obviously delighted at the change in the weather as a few birds were starting to display. Apart from the usual species a female Goosander was preening from the Peter Scott hide. From the British Steel Hide nice views of a group of Black-tailed Godwits feeding feverishly.

| Grerat Crested Grebe |
I moved on to Pwll and half way to Burry Port Harbour counted a group of about 20 Great Crested Grebes and 2 male Red-breasted Mergansers. A Kestrel hovered overhead but no sign of any Slavonian Grebe or Great Northern Diver.

| Greenshank |
Moving on to Kidwelly Quay I spent some time near the Sewerage Works looking for the Firecrest but failed again even though somebody saw it an hour later. I did manage a Chiffchaff and 6 Goldcrests plus 2 Green Sandpipers on the flooded field.. Six Goldeneye were in the river and 12 Greenshanks near the railway bridge. I looked from the Glan-yr-Afon Local Nature reserve but no sign of the Long-billed Dowitcher today. The the rain returned and I headed for home.
