"Wot,another Yank,this time in Glamorgan".............

A selection of images of the extremely confiding Long-billed Dowitcher found at Rhaslas Pond,Nr Merthyr Tydfil by Mike Hogan,a fantastic inland find and the result of intensive patch watching in building up a catalogue of species that use the pool either for breeding or passage to counter the threat of opencast development which would result in the loss of this wonderful piece of upland habitat.

Only my 4th of this species in the UK but a Glamorgan county "tick".
