PERFECT FOR TWITCHERS -

Birdwatching in Gower and wider area

A pair of powerful binoculars is left at the cottage for your use if going birdwatching. See the Snipes, Little Egrets, Oystercatchers, Grey Herons, and ringed Plover at Llanrhidian Marshes, Whiteford Burrows, Llandimore Pill, or Penclawdd. See Kitiwakes, razorbills, and various gulls at Worms Head.
