Description
Apart from a site which houses a collection of captive swans, geese and ducks, Llanelli WWT (part of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust) also gives access to the larger Millennium Wetlands area with lakes, scrapes and woods. Wintering wildfowl include Örvös bukó, Kerceréce, Csörgo réce, Fütyülő réce, Nyílfarkú réce, Örvös lúd and Énekes hattyú. Waders may include Csigaforgató, Nagy póling, Piroslábú cankó, Füstös cankó, Szürke cankó, Aranylile, Ezüstlile, Sarki partfutó and Kis goda. Nagy goda are present all year round. Guvat and Kis sárszalonka also winter but are secretive. Other waders seen on passage include Kis póling, Pajzsoscankó, billegetőcankó, Erdei cankó, Réti cankó, Sarlós partfutó and Apró partfutó. October to April is the best time to visit Llanelli with peak waterfowl numbers in January.
