Recent Sightings

On Monday Meurig Williams noted 112 Wigeon and 6 Goosanders on Maesllyn Pool, beside Cors Caron, and I saw 11 Tufted Ducks there. Chris Bird reported a dark-bellied Brent Goose at the Dyfi estuary, upstream of Ynyslas.
On Tuesday Brian Kington watched a male Black Redstart half way up Constitution Hill at Aberystwyth and Andre Marsh is pretty sure he saw a Short-eared Owl at the northern end of Cors Caron.
Today I was at the Teifi estuary and the wintering Common Sandpiper was at its usual spot, on the Ceredigion side, opposite the old Jewsons yard at St Dogmaels.
