16-19 January 2007 The Bittern continued to show in front of the Zeiss Hide but was seen to be walking off toward the Barclay's hide reedbed on 19 January. On 18th the two Great Skuas were on the Dumbles with at least one the next day. The first-winter Glaucous Gull was still around the Dumbles to 19th at least. The birding is still excellent, we have a count on Sunday so hopefully will have some interesting totals.
