Brent Geese

John and I met at Ynyslas this morning to see what birds the high tide might push towards us.
Answer - not a lot. We decided against walking to the pillbox because we could see a couple of men over in that direction who we were pretty sure had guns with them - when does the season end?
So we moved along to the turn car-park to look at the sea. We saw rafts of Common Scoter, several Red-throated Divers, 1 Great-crested Grebe and 6 dark bellied Brent Geese which flew hither and thither eventually heading north.
