A good selection from the dyfi

Started off with a seawatch from the brickhouse this morning where a Great Northern Diver flew south along with 61 Black-headed Gulls, 22 Common Gulls and 11 Herring Gulls. Along the Leri there were 2 Water Pipits and a superb male Hen Harrier. On the estuary there was another Great Northern Diver, a drake Red-breasted Merganser and the usual selection of ducks. A Merlin and a Sparrowhawk were around Ynys Tachwedd as well as 300+ Lapwing, 40+ Curlews, 150 Chaffinches as well as Stock Doves, Skylarks, Reed Buntings and Linnets. A quick scan from the brickhouse on my way home was well worth doing as a smart Black-throated Diver flew past south soon after I arrived.
