2 Whooper Swans were on Bwlchcryws pond, just west of Devil's Bridge, early afternoon.
Nearby, at Cwmrheidol there was no sign of the Ring-necked Duck but a Barn Owl sitting beside the river was a surprising sight.
I then met Bob R. at Ynyslas where there were 6 Sanderling.
At the southern end of Borth there was an adult Mediterranean Gull. Bob left and another Med Gull appeared and then Russell J. found a third. On the rocks were at least 4 Purple Sandpipers.
There was an impressive gull roost on College rocks at Aberystwyth, always worth a look.
