With spoonbill, glossy ibis, temminck's stint and purple heron, the last
week must have been one of the best in living memory for rarities on the
Dyfi.
Needless to say I didn't see any of them. Two long walks up and down the
Leri for the stint (on Monday and Wednesday) , a visit to Glandwr on Monday for the
ibis and a long distance scan across the Ynyshir saltmarshes for the spoonbill
all proved negative. I've always said I'm the world's worst twitcher and this
just proves my point!

Jerry has my sympathy. I managed to see the ibis, but failed with stint, spoonbill and heron (twice).
Having sworn many times to give up twitching, I'm waiting for the next rarity to test my resolve.
