Andy James and I looked for the Water Pipit on Aberaeron north and south beaches bewteen 12.00 and 13.20 but to no avail. (Didn't visit the blog until shortly before midday unfortunately.) A lot of half-term visitors with dogs as well as children didn't really help. We walked as far as the cliffs before Aberarth - 32 Oystercatchers and 14 Curlew, but no pipits at all.
But I did have a new garden bird this morning - a Firecrest in the hedgerow.
