Some shots of the purps resting on the wooden jetty and castle sea wall, so easy to see and photograph. Back in the eighties flocks of 300 used to winter around Scarborough and Filey and they were such a rarity around Aber and the west coast generally. However, almost the reverse is true, only about 20 to 30 winter on this stretch of east coast, Aber seems to be the hot spot now around this western coastline. My first destination is always to see these wonderful birds. Just included a few other resident species, especially the first wheatear of the year at tanybwylch, fantastic.
