Ynyslas

I went to Ynyslas this morning where I bumped into John Davis and guests. When I arrived at about 9.30 a group of 5 Swallows flew over heading roughly south. There was a flock of c130 Golden Plover on the rocky shore-line near the point with a few Dunlin and Ringed Plover mixed in. Also single Wheatear and Reed Bunting with a dozen or so Meadow Pipits on the sand. Two Red-throated Divers on the sea and small flights of auks passing by. Also a feeding frenzy way out on the horizon, too far to make positive indentifications apart from a couple of Gannets.
John picked up on 3 probable White-fronted Geese which flew over as we left the point at about mid-day.
