Borth and Afon Clettwr

Lots of Manx Shearwaters passing Borth early this morning; I counted 1900 north in 30 min, but very little else. A few Gannets and Common Scoter, one each of Kittiwake, Sandwich Tern and Guillemot.
The first bird that I saw on arrival at the Clettwr was a Kingfisher, and a walk along the river turned up two Redshank and two Common Sandpipers.
A light passage of Swifts, 21 in total, reminded me that they won't be around for much longer.
