Those Goosanders again and a ringed Chough

I went back to Tan Y Bwlch yesterday to see if the Goosanders were still around - the largest group was of 8 birds which is not to say that the original 11 were not there anymore as they came and went individually or in small groups of 2 or 3 and, in contrast to last Thursday, they took off to fly. So here are some better pictures of them. There was also a group of 8 Choughs, one of which was ringed with a red (5H) and a dark green plastic ring on the left leg, as well as a light green plastic ring and a metal ring on the right leg (see picture).
