29th May 2016 (Glamorgan and Gwent)

Headed up to Glamorgan and arrived at Ogmore by about 13:30, where the adult SQUACCO HERON was showing fairly near the road as soon as we arrived.

A nice addition to the car window list!

Had a look in the evening at Newport Wetlands, where the SAVI'S WARBLER ocassionally reeled, and frustratingly managed to move position in the reedbed several times undetected. In the meantime, we had plenty of Bearded Tits plus a Marsh Harrier and some other bits and pieces. After two and a half hours the bird started reeling properly from a bush very close to the path (recording below) and we eventually got a view of the bird in flight. Seems like I've broken my streak of dipping in Wales this year!
