    Ar, I forgot that one - yes, one back. Also I remember a Buff-breasted somewhere along from Magor :) Still have never been to the new Wetland Reserve, much to my shame. Will be in the UK for a couple of days late May, hope to pop in then :)

    Can see I'll be up for a trans-Continental twitch there John, still haven't seen either Black-necked Grebe or Canada Goose on that pristine piece of water :)

    Latter crime is forgiven, but reckon you should be back round those twin concrete delights by dawn tomorrow (says I who has not only failed to visit my former local patch Llanvihangel Gobian more than once in the last ten years, but fled the entire county ...and country!)

    Well, I said I remembered twitching something at those pools, but (although I still can't remember what it was), I sure it wasn't a Canada Goose ;) Having left Gwent so long ago, I'm afraid I was also one of those Gwent birders who got excited by a Canada Goose!!! Never saw one at Ynys y fro...

    Isn't it 'inis e fro'? Oh the memories!!! This was one of my occasional stamping grounds when I was a budding birder based in South Wales... Remember a few good birds there, but also seem to remember going there once to twitch something, but for the life of me, can't remember what!!! Guess it...
