Ynyslas/Aberleri

This afternoon I counted 239 Teal on the other side of the thin strip of water at low tide at Aberleri. I'm sure there were more tucked in out of sight below the bank on this side. Then a male Hen Harrier did a complete circuit around the salt grass, putting up a lot more Teal and Mallard from their cover. Shortly after his sortie I noticed a Kestrel hovering over the field in front of the caravan park. There were 8 or 9 Shell Duck, about the same number of Redshank and a lone Grey Plover feeding near the track between the boat-yard and the end of the saltings, plus scores more Teal.
