Heather Coats, Charlie Sargent, Phil Mead and Dan Rouse joined forces for the second Constant Effort Site (CES) session at WWT Llanelli today. We heard Long tailed tits calling in the trees and then caught ten of them, a mixture of adults and juveniles – the first juveniles this year from
this early breeding species. About two hours later we had another eight!
