Velvet Scoters off Borth

Sea was calmer this morning so I had a look from Ynyslas turn car park.  Eight Wigeon joined the 340 or so Common Scoter, five Gannets were circling around and on the beach were six Ringed Plover, two Sanderling, a Curlew, a Redshank and a Dunlin.
Hoping to find divers (or anything) I stopped off near the golf clubhouse for another look at the sea and found three Velvet Scoters drifting north, two females and one I think was an immature.
