ABERYSTWYTH

Nice to be back after a brief time in Essex. The ringed male Black Redstart was showing well today on the Old College. 18 Turnstones again, making Aberystwyth a really good spot for this lovely wader. Helen Herbert noted 19 on 23rd.
Harry had a couple of good office window ticks yesterday; a Kingfisher and Little Egret in Plas Crug ditch. On 23rd he noted 9 Snipe there. On 28th he saw 6 Red-throated Divers offshore and a total of 27 flying north.
