I took advantage of the fine weather yesterday and went to Cross Inn and Llyn Fanod.What a lovely place and we were rewarded not with the Barnacle geese seen on Saturday as they had gone but with 17 or so Widgeon and the large group of Gossanders.There were 2 divers right across on the other side and even with my scope I couldn't make them out ,possibly golden eye.What fascinated us was the colour of the sheep grazing ,they were a strange peaty colour no doubt the ground there is black with peat and it rubs off onto their fleece!A pleasant walk into the forest at cross inn rounded off a pleasant afternoon ,with a detour for a bag of chips, eaten on the quayside at Aberaeron in the warm sunshine!
Best wishes
