Just popped out again 10.30 am - saw an auk but now way out , no chance with binocs but have now checked 2008 ceredigion bird report (having rushed out to buy it from Ystwyth books!)and note one little auk sighting in Feb 2008 off Borth. I have rechecked my fieldguide and RSPB webpages and the sighting does seem to match their descritions of little auk in winter plumage.
