High -tide at Ynys-hir

A nice variety of waders were pushed up by the high-tide this morning. In addition to the usual oystercatchers, curlew and redshank were both black and bar-tailed godwits, knot, dunlin, ringed plover and a few whimbrel and knot. One of the MWT ospreys fished over the Dyfi near the Marian mawr hide and a ringtail hen harrier quartered the banks either side of the path to the Saltings hide. The female scaup that has been seen intermittently over the last week was on the river.
