I popped into WWT National Wetlands Centre Wales last week to see what was around. It was quiet except for the Millennium Wetlands side, where from the Sir Peter Scott hide there was a great view of a flock of various Waders such as Godwit, Green and Redshank. Occasionally the flock would lift as a raptor flew over, but most of the time they quietly?roosted amongst the rocks. A little Grebe was feeding just in front of the hide and allowed a few different images to be made.
From the side of the hide you can get a view of one of the perches set up for the Kingfisher. Unfortunately I missed the image of the kingfisher, as I was helping out another photographer at the time. The Kingfisher didn’t return, but a small group of Gadwall duck were feeding and bathing nearby allowing? me to try out a few different images. I was drawn by the green water ad the ripples around the duck as it fed. The upright image seems to work better than the horizontal version, which I hadn’t expected.
