My last morning in West Wales and we begin at Nantymoch reservoir. This is one of the few places in Ceredigion where Great Crested Grebe nest. We manage to locate one of the pair here, the only bird of this otherwise common UK species we will record on this trip. We also find Tree Pipit, Northern Wheatear and Common Sandpiper.
Next stop is a return to Ynyslas and this time 6 Western Cattle Egrets are present in the field and some are much closer to us than before.
As it is time to return to Aberystwyth for the train, we stop on the front and see Manx Shearwaters passing down the coast.
