A trip to Ynyslas this morning revealed an amazing sight of snow on the beaches and icefloes frozen along the tideline. Along the saltings of the Leri and sea wall literally hundreds of duck were to be seen. Widgeon predominanted with Teal a close second, Mallard and Pintail were also present in good numbers. Redshank were shivering in the rushes and a fair number of Curlew were out on the sandbank. Skylarks, Meadow Pippits, Starlings and a few Reed Buntings were foraging on the unfrozen mud revealed by the receeding tide. With all this avian food around a Hen Harrier and two Peregrines were getting well stoked up!
Best Wishes to All For Xmas and the New Year
