Llanelli WWT

 A wet day was forecast so headed off to Llanelli WWT reserve. After an initial torrential downpour, the day cleared out and was very enjoyable. It's a large reserve and we could have spent longer there. The new Welsh Water hide is amazing - I could live in it! Highlights were the spoonbills, doing what spoonbills do - spooninng, and the sheer number of black-tailed godwits.
