The first juvenile Black-tailed Godwit of the season was with the flock on the Tack Piece this morning.
Middle Point
It was strangely quiet in the Dumbles roost this morning, possibly from a disturbance event. Maybe the Peregrines were out hunting. Only a few Curlew were seen, mainly lifting from the mud to the south of the main roost area. In the main roost were only six Oystercatcher, six Little Egret, three Grey Heron, and ten Great Black-backed Gull, with another ten Little Egret and two Grey Heron on the Royal Drift Breakwater, and another three Little Egret to north at Black Rock Breakwater.

At least one Spoonbill was roosting on the lower pond. The wader flock continues to delight with the two Spotted Redshank still present, along with two Green Sandpiper, ten male Ruff, 174 Black-tailed Godwit (in addition to the flock on the Tack Piece), 23 Redshank, a single Oystercatcher, an Avocet and three Snipe.
