Took in Bryn Bach Park before returning to Dunlop Semtex Pond for the start of visit 2 of the Gwent Goosander Survey. 'Twas bitingly cold but a few black headed gull were happy to come in close for some scraps left by the locals. This adult gull was carrying a ring marked Estonia but wasn't able to make out the number as the bird wouldn't stay still long enough and the ring's on upside down.
At DSP there were five goosander ( 4 female and 1 male ) all of which eventually left taking a north westerly route. Full count:
9 Pochard
9 Tufted duck
8 Moorhen
16 Coot
30 Mallard
5 Goosander
