I have been fortunate enough to visit Aberystwyth this last week so I just thought I'd fill you in on my sightings.
22/10 - A pair of Wheatears on Tan-Y-Bwlch beach and a Kestrel and 3 Chough up on the hill at the far end of Tan Y Bwlch
23/10 - We took a trip to Ynys-Hir and walked almost the entire reserve. The place is currently overrun with grey squirrels! Among the birds sighted were the Snow Goose who clearly thinks its a Canada, Lapwing, Teal, Moorhen, Little Grebe and at least 4 Shoveler (3 females and a male), my first ever sightings and as I understand it, rare visitors to Ceredigion! We also got a lovely view of a pair of Great Spotted Woodpeckers so a good day of birding all in all.
