Clettwr

Yet another fruitless search for the Greenland white-fronted geese on the south side of the Dyfi. Plenty of other highlights though with 7 brent geese feeding with Canada geese east of the Leri, 278 pintail between the Leri and Clettwr with four knot, a grey plover, 820 oystercatchers and a bar-tailed godwit. A very unseasonal whimbrel flew in calling and fed with a couple of curlew just west of the Clettwr and a greenshank was flushed on the walk back. Two water pipits were near the end of the track and two dippers were by the ford, one singing so I closed my eyes for ten minutes and enjoyed the song and thoughts of Spring.
