Green Heron : 'The Return'

Myself and friend Richard Smith decided to make a return visit to the Green Heron at Llan-mill, Narberth last Saturday 5th May hoping to get some better photos of the Green Heron, us 'toggers' are never satisfied !!
We aimed to get there about 1.00pm when the sun would have moved around behind us so after meeting up at Sarn on the M4 we first headed for Llyn Llech Owain Country Park Nr Cross Hands hoping to connect with a Cuckoo that had been seen there earlier in the week.
Unfortunately we didn't see a Cuckoo but there were several common migrants present including Tree Pipit, Common Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff.
We pushed on to Llan-mill arriving at about 1.00pm but between arrival and 6.00pm when we left the bird showed only distantly at the back of the pond and spent the rest of the time munching on newts and Rudd in the reeds..........
