We had to kill some time in Aberaeron today and instead of being sensible and tucking ourselves into a warm caff we did a seawatch in extremely blustery conditions. We were rewarded with some good views of a Little Gull (adult) searching the breaking surf before it flew off towards Aberystwyth. A brief period of sunshine coincided with its visit and highlighted the dark underwing even at distance.
There were also 2 Med Gulls (1x ad and 1x 2nd winter).
The rate the water was flowing out of the harbour at low tide I expect the Mandarins to be in Ireland!
On the way home there were 6 male Goosanders after 3 females on the Penuwch pond by the statues. Seemed a lot for such a small pond.
