Although the tide was high and the weather was pleasant, there weren't an awful lot of birds to be seen at Ynyslas this morning. I had intended to walk to the Pill-box but was put off when I spotted a couple of shooters ahead of me. So I went to Aberleri where I bumped into a couple of other birders. A Scaup and a Goldeneye showed very well and a flock of Skylarks passed noisily overhead - there were calls and snatches of song. There were 5 dark-bellied Brent Geese on the water, further along towards Ynyslas and I watched 3 Ringed Plover near the end of the saltings.
From the turn car-park I saw several dozen Common Scoter on the sea.
