Llanelli WWT

WE went to Llanelli Wetlands today, run by the WWT (http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit/llanelli/) The sun was shining and we had a really good day.

We didnt see any new stuff from my Tarka list but we did see a new bird, a Black Tailed Godwit (learn more - http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/b/blacktailedgodwit/).

They are waders and have really big bills.

There are lots of hides to watch the wild birds like the Godwit and they have enclosures with different water birds from around the world. You can get really close to the birds and take cool pictures.
