I must have been at Ynyslas a little earlier than Edward this morning. On the rising tide near the tern posts were three Grey Plovers and 30 Dunlin with a Great Crested Grebe and a Red-breasted Merganser among 200 or so Wigeon. The five pale-bellied Brent Geese were way over towards the river mouth.
On Ynys Tachwedd Fields a few Stock Doves were in the long vegetation then a Buzzard working its way along the fence line flushed at least 25 of them. There were ca150 Lapwings at the south end of the fields with low double figures of Curlew and Golden Plover.
I couldn't find the Velvet Scoter on the sea, but 11 Wigeon flew in from the south and settled.
