If there was an improvement in the weather I resolved to go over during my lunch break today and try to get some photographs. There was & I did. It wasn't as close as last years bird at Astbury Mere in Cheshire but it was still nice to see. A great find by Duncan Halpin. Looks like there was a Pink-footed Goose in with the Greylag's as well although it was distant & I didn't have the scope.
If you go take your wellies and watch out for the flooded road!

Nice images Phill.Cant wait to see these birds when I go to Iceland in May!!
Glad you got it Phil. Llay pool is a handy stop off en route to and from work, especially in April/May. Nice pics.
Glad you found the place and got the Slav. Cracking little pool, and a handy place for a quick visit en route to my work in Mold. Good for wader passage in Spring. Just wish I had found the bird!
Cheers Kev & Paul. I've seen breeding Slavs when I worked in Finland and also in Scotland. We had a breeding plumaged bird in Cheshire last year but it was always to distant to photograph.
What kind of waders have turned up?
