Llanon Monday 6th

Spent very clear but very cold couple of hours at Llanon on Monday afternoon (6th) . Three Lapland Buntings seen in first three minutes about ten yards from the path. Filled the scope. Very nice indeed. Very intent on feeding - who can blame them. Spent ten minutes or so watching them and then walked along the coast for a bit.
Also numerous, uncounted I'm afraid, Golden Plover (c70+) - too dispersed over low tide foreshore and fields, 1 Grey Plover, 2 Med. Gulls, c80 Skylarks, 1 Stonechat, 1 Dipper, 1 Kestrel.
