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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1197\" title=\"Godwit, Green and Redshank at WWT Llanelli\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0831.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0831.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0831-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0831-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1199\" title=\"Lone Greenshank at WWT National Wetlands Centre Wales\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0984.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0984.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0984-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD0984-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t expected.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1200\" title=\"Male Gadwall at WWT National Wetlands Centre Wales\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD1104.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD1104.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD1104-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/WWT-National-Wetlands-Centre-Wales20100929_NCD1104-266x400.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I popped into WWT National Wetlands Centre Wales last week to see what was around.
