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 Red-breasted Merganser, Common Goldeneye, Common Teal, Eurasian Wigeon, Northern Pintail, Brent Goose and Whooper Swan. Waders may include Eurasian Oystercatcher, Eurasian Curlew, Common Redshank, Spotted Redshank, Common Greenshank, European Golden Plover, Grey Plover, Red Knot and Bar-tailed Godwit. Black-tailed Godwit are present all year round. Water Rail and Jack Snipe also winter but are secretive. Other waders seen on passage include Whimbrel, Ruff, Common Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint. October to April is the best time to visit Llanelli with peak waterfowl numbers in January.
