I took a walk along the coastal path between New Quay and Cwm Tydu today. The sea mist had cleared reasonably well by midday and the sea was mirror calm. I saw the birds you would expect to see on this walk, Ravens, Cormorant, Shag, Oystercatcher, Herring Gull, Fulmar, Buzzard, Chough (2), Carrion Crow, Magpie, Robin, Dunnock, Wren, Blackbird, Blue Tit. There were lots of auks (Guillemots & Razorbills) at sea and quite a number already at their breeding sites at Craig-yr-Adar and elsewhere. The gorse was in flower filling the air with its distinctive scent. 2 Grey Seals basked on the rocks below Craig-yr-Adar (see photo) there were signs of extensive badger activity on the coastal path. The sows will probably have given birth to their cubs now. The path was 'very' muddy and slippery in places so bear this in mind if you plan to walk it in the near future.
