Llannant saltmarsh pylon roost

There were 25 Cormorants on the pylon (SN565000) this evening. Numbers vary considerably at the roost with the highest count I've made being 70 back on the 17th September 2009. There is another pylon roost in the Burry on the Carmarthenshire side of Loughor Bridge, the highest count I've made here being 48 on 2nd September 2001.

Harriers at Llanrhidian

Neil Edwards just reported that 4 Hen Harriers came in to roost on the marsh this evening, however, he was more surprised to see them joined by a Red Kite at one stage! The kite was buzzed by one of the female Hen Harriers who, unlike Neil, was clearly not impressed by its presence. Neil saw what was probably the same kite earlier in the day a little further east at Wernffrwd.
