Black Redstart and Med Gulls

I decided to have a seawatch from the castle this morning, and on walking up to the shelter was pleased to find a fem/imm Black Redstart.  Probably the same one that Steve Jones had last Saturday.
After an hour my counts were:  Gannet 28, Kittiwake 9, Common Scoter 6 and Med Gull 1.
On College Rocks were 12 Ringed Plover and 7 Turnstones.
After the recent rain I thought Blaendolau playing fields would be worth a look and found a variety of gulls there, i.e. 29 Mediterranean, 24 Common, 2 Lesser Black-backed, 1 Great Black-backed  plus a few Herring and ca 100 Black-headed.
