Aberystwyth prom.

Tide was still well in when I arrived at Castle point, enabling an easy wader count.  25 Turnstones, 31 Ringed Plovers and an adult Sanderling, which were joined later by a Redshank and my first coastal Kingfisher of the autumn.
Two juv Shags joined the Cormorants on the outer rocks and around 50 Med Gulls were on College rocks.
Offshore, just the odd Gannet and a continuous light passage of Black-headed Gulls heading south.
Sanderling
