Harry Pepper, Meurig Williams and myself began at Aberystwyth where there were 3 Mediterranean Gulls on College Rocks and a good selection of waders on South Beach, near the War memorial: 29 Ringed Plover, 6 Turnstone, 4 Dunlin, 2 Sanderling and 1 Knot. Harry had seen all theses birds at the same spot the previous morning.
Then on to Ynyslas where Bob joined us at The Turn car park. A few Common Scoters were offshore and 13 Sanderling on the beach.
Next, the Clettwr by the Dyfi and from the footbridge we had good views of 4 Greenshank, 2 Green Sandpipers,1 Common Sandpiper and a Kingfisher.
Then on to Ynys-hir and a good mixed flock of small birds including Pied and Spotted Flycatchers whilst on our way to Marion Mawr hide. From there views, of an adult and juv. Peregrine, Curlews and Black-tailed Godwit and best of all, good, prolonged views of an Osprey, often perched, often flying about low and also bathing.
