Ynyslas this afternoon
The 150 or so wigeon at Ynyslas this afternoon looked nearly as damp and cheesed off with the weather as me. There were also 11 ringed plover, a great-crested grebe and a female eider there. I didn't count the shellduck, oystercatcher and curlew and although I only saw 1 brent goose I think there may have been a few more hidden from view. I hear a hose-pipe ban may be imposed in South Wales and other parts of the UK soon.........
