All shook up

I got an early indication of the kind of birding I was in for as soon as I arrived at Llanrhystud this morning with a juv Gannet low across the field next to the little sewage plant. Six species of gull inc about 400 BHeaded, 30 Med Gulls and what looked like a steady passage of LBB Gulls. Also 2 Choughs and a Wheatear. Very close to shore through the churning waves were 25 Shags (6,19) and 19 Pale bellied Brent Geese (10,8,1).
