green sandpiper

Cors Caron looked sensational in the early sun this morning though the plastic boardwalk was a bit slippy as temps had obviously reached zero in the night after our warmest November day.  Green sand at the flash with 8 teal and a male Harrier.  The wigeon (roughly same number as Harry saw yesterday) flew around calling before deciding to go down on a sunlit pond, Maes Llyn being in shadow and shrouded in mist.  Groups of pipits,finches and reed bunts were arriving in the nearby bushes.
It was a bit strange to see the circling wigeon pass across the bright moon to the west and the rising sun on the east…worth getting up in the morning!
