This obliging water pip was on the cobbles at Llanon South carpark until bullied off the spot by the local rock pip. Heard it call several times and it sounded hoarse or lispy so now I know what to listen out for on the bog. Not the easiest bird to pin down but fortunately we had the van to use as a hide.
On the way in we saw 2 female goosander on the pond near Penuwch where there are some funny looking statues and 25 lapwing on Llyn Fanod. As we left a gannet flew over the strandline! I also saw what looked like a black guillemot fly by but no pic as the photographer was playing with Toffy.
