Ynys-las

Just back from the Turn Car Park, having spent about 90 minutes watching the sea.
It was very mild, and the sea was flat calm which enabled me to see quite a few birds on it.
There were about 16 or 17 Red-throated divers, 25-30 Common Scoter, 2 Great crested grebe, 7 or 8 Guillemot and 1 fly past Great Northern diver.  A couple of seals popped up, one of them had caught a fish which seemed a bit too big for it.  It surfaced several times with the fish and at one stage a couple of Great black backed gulls dive bombed trying to relieve it if it's meal.  I was also thrilled to see 3 Bottle nosed dolphins which stayed in view for about 20 minutes and put on quite a show.
