BORTH and YNYSLAS

The usual adult Mediterranean Gull was on the beach and, following on from what Elfyn mentioned, there was a very noticeable northward movement of 100+ House Martins.
At Ynyslas Turn,where Ian Boyle and Meurig joined us, there were 4 Red-throated Divers offshore and several Common Scoters. On the beach, a Black-tailed Godwit and 5 Sandwich Terns.
On the Leri side, there was the nice sight of 8 Stonechats and 2 Whinchats on a fence. 9 Golden Plovers passed overhead.
By the Leri rail bridge: 50 Linnets, 5 Wheatears and a Kingfisher. 25 Lapwings overhead.
