Two phalaropes at Clarach

The two grey phalaropes at Clarach reported on Birdguides this morning were at the north end of the beach, beyond the breaking high waves. To me, they seemed smaller than little gulls - notable by their absence - but according to Collins, there is only a centimetre difference.

There was a redshank on the farmland behind Tanybwlch beach this morning and a pair of stonechats at the beach edge.
