Stopped off at the lifeboat station at Borth on my way to Ynyslas and found 18 Mediterranean Gulls on the beach, including my first juvenile of the year.
The tide pushed up a surprising number of waders, and I enjoyed great views as they all gathered together on the beach near the tern posts. 235 Dunlin, 15 Ringed Plover, five Redshank, three Sanderling and a Knot, still in partial summer plumage.
I didn't count the Sandwich Terns, but there were at least 80.
Finally, apologies to anyone who is sick of reading about Med Gull counts, but I couldn't resist stopping off at Blaendolau playing fields where lots of lovely gulls included 239 Meds. That was at 11.45 if anyone is interested in checking them tomorrow.
