Other species that
are regular fixtures are the tall and majestic Grey Heron and the eye
catching Little Egret. Down by the seashore you enter yet another dimension
of birding with Gulls and Cormorants setting down among the rocky crags,
particularly after or just before bad weather.
Straying away from the waters edge, one can find an equally
impressive range of small birds in and amongst the fields and forests.
The Yellowhammer and
the Skylark, once regulars in the fields of the
British countryside are now considered to be at risk and both can be
found in the fields around Newtown and
right along the south coast.
The Robin and the Wren,
though regularly spotted, always make for pleasant company. The former
is often heard before it is seen whilst the latter may be mistaken for
a small rodent as it scurries amongst the undergrowth. Although small,
the Wren is beaten to the
title of Britain's smallest by the tiny Goldcrest.
Considered quite common in gardens, the Goldcrest is also a winter visitor to the fields
around the Western Yar.
