Cardigan Bay gull fest and swallow

The coast between Llanrhysted and Llanon held a few thousand gulls of all our regulars inc Meds and Commons, close to shore feeding, bathing and loafing amid the abundant shoals of mini fish..sprats? Further out were auks and gannets.
The tide line washed up sprats were feeding crows and jackdaws so nothing wasted.
Along the ridge by the caravans was a lone swallow with pipits and odd wagtails.  A single wheatear was by the lifebuoy at Llanon.
