Merlin at Ynyslas

I scanned the sea for a few minutes from the turn car-park Ynyslas this morning. It was quite choppy, all I managed to spot were 4 Common Scoter off shore and 6 Ringed Plover on. Closer to Aberleri I had prolonged views of a perched Merlin and saw 5 Sanderling scuttling about by the water's edge. c100 Curlew in the salt grass and lots of birds far off in the distance, too far off!
