Scaup on the Leri and Raptors at Ynyslas

We bumped into John and Ann Val on the Leri Road Bridge this afternoon, they had the Scaup in their scope so we had a wee peek. We then walked along the Leri but apart from a couple of Ringed Plover there were no sightings to mention here. Finally we drove along the track beside the boatyard and on towards the visitor centre. At 4:05 we were thrilled to see a male Hen Harrier followed almost immediately by a Kestrel, both travelling in the same direction, ie south, away from the saltings.
