Friday evenings entertainment was finding possibly wales first Caspian Gull at Llandegfedd Reservior.No Phone on me at the time resulted in me emailing a few pics when i got in.After a while a few other birders said it looked good.Just got to get past the WRP next.If anybody got any comments on this bird please feel free to leave a comment below.Gwents not that bad really.
Might just indulge in a curry feast tonight to celebrate.

Dads Go to Iceland
This is why dads go to Iceland.Or maybe Minehead for an Iceland.Checked out the small pool opposite tescos first but no sign there.Did have a Perergrine circling high above.Couldnt be bothered to go into tescos for a loaf of bread to entice the gull in so i grabbed myslef a big mac meal and a couple of hamburgers for the gull.Must remember to take the gerkins out next time as the gull didnt like them.After i started feeding the gulls the finest food from Mc Donalds it was sometimes to close to get it all in the frame.Also here was a Pied Wagtail with 3 coloured rings.Red over Grey on left leg and white on right.
Glamorgans Aberthaw Power Station in the distance.
