Newport Wetlands, Gwent

Definitely after the Lord Mayor's Show, I called in at Newport Wetlands RSPB today, in the vain hope that the long staying Savi's Warbler would still be there, but no, as I suspected due to the lack of recent reports, it's gone, or at least not singing, which amounts to more or less the same thing.

Still, it was good to tick off another RSPB reserve, and I did hear at least six Cetti's Warblers, and saw a Green Woodpecker and a Whimbrel.
