In answer to your question Liz the Ruff was seen in flight with approximately 30 lapwings at the southern end of the bog. As you say, because of high water, there is absolutely no muddy edges anywhere, which is a real shame considering just how many American waders there are in the country at the moment.
The best I could manage today were 10 Dunnocks in one very small bush at Llanrhystud!
