I took myself off to the Breakwater hide at Ynys-hir for the higher than usual tide this morning and was rewarded with -
Black-tailed & Bar-tailed Godwit. Very mobile so difficult to count but about 7 or 8 of each.
Ruff 3
Dunlin 16-17
Curlew Sandpiper 1
Little Egret 10
Curlew 100+
Wigeon c50
Kingfisher 1
Willow Warbler 1
As I was leaving the hide I saw a Sedge Warbler close by.
Making my way back to the car park via the path beside the railway track I stopped to watch a mixed flock of Linnet, Goldfinch, Meadow Pipit and Reed Bunting.
A Snipe flew over, there was a Pintail on the flooded field behind Breakwater hide and I saw my first Shovler of the season.
