Last week a visit to Llanelli where there was still some ice around. Outside the enclosures was some activity in the warm winter sun, a Mallard in a reflective mood, Mute swans flying around and causing chaos, Shelduck showing signs of pairing, 20 plus Snipe doing not a lot and in the enclosures Eider males puffing out their chests and 'cooing' to impress the ladies
