SportingShooter 0 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I went to our Marsh the other day just out of curiosity and was quite surprised to see Teal about down there. I dont normally see them for about another Fortnight and there were plenty of them too. There are always Mallard about here as there is a Wetlands Trust centre on the opposite side on the estuary. No Geese as yet and I didn't see any Wigeon but normally they arrive with us about a month after the Teal in any number. I'll keep you posted, Regards SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Indeed, my side is from Penclawdd looking across to the Penclacwydd Wetlands Centre and along the Burry inlet. Which side are you on? Finally, someone else from Swansea Regards SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
