Aberystwyth and Tanybwlch

Three Sandwich Terns, four Gannets and a Kittiwake went north past Castle Point this morning before I decided to try Tanybwlch for migrants.  Seven Wheatears in one field was a good start  then along the base of Pendinas at least two Willow Warblers had joined the Chiffchaffs and a Sedge Warbler gave a brief burst of song.
A walk along the bay brought another three Wheatears, nine Linnets and at least 25 alba wagtails (quite distant and into the sun so I couldn't distinguish Pied from White).
Offshore, just a Gannet and two Kittiwakes.

These Llamas; were they in breeding plumage?
