Following a recent discussion with John Davis and Sion Davis about Dippers, this afternoon I paid a visit to the Clettwr. Sure enough -down below the footbridge, in spite of the flood, there were three - one of which was ringed. Further on downstream were several parties of Mallard. A large flock of Lapwings followed the railway line down the estuary. On the fields alongside the river was a mixed flock of redwings and thrushes. Travelling down through Llancynfelin was at a very slow crawl because of a Red Legged Frenchman who persisted in running down the centre of the road! ( See the recent blogs on Partridges in this area). In the ditch alongside the road bordering the NNR were two Moorhens. At Ynyslas there was little to be seen except a large flock of Golden Plover winging their way up the estuary.
