Scoters and snow bunting

Following a phone call from John Davis that there were now 3 species of scoter at Ynyslas turn I headed down there at lunchtime and was eventually rewarded with the two surf scoter, a velvet scoter and common scoter; at one time all three species were in the scope view together. Just as I was leaving I heard a snow bunting call close by and found a lovely winter male feeding on seed close to the car.
