Stress Relief

A Spotted Flycatcher on Monday at Croeslan and a Marsh Tit on a feeder in Capel Dewi(Llandysul) yesterday provided some much needed light relief from the current bitter and stressful industrial dispute at work. With a day off today I headed to Llanrhystud where there was a good selection of birds to see. Highlights for me were 5 White Wagtails and a single Knot. Also around were 7 Med. Gulls and the leucistic Oystercatcher, which is presumably the same bird that has been around for a few years,though I can't say I've checked it that carefully. A forlorn looking Razorbill was paddling about just 5 yards from the shore and was very approachable,perhaps because it was injured or sick.
