Ynys-hir and Ynyslas

To Ynys-hir for the high tide this morning.  A Pink-footed Goose was on the Marian Mawr pools.  Pick of the wildfowl on the Dyfi were three Goldeneye (one male) and a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers.  In addition to the usual waders were a Common Sandpiper and a Black-tailed Godwit.
At Ynyslas a few Dunlin and Ringed Plover were mixed in with at least 750 Golden Plovers.
The King Eider was showing well; at one point swimming among a group of Wigeon and a Great Crested Grebe.
I couldn't find anything among the Common Scoters at the turn car park except for eight Red-throated Divers and a couple of Great Crested Grebes.
