Borth and Ynyslas

Five Purple Sandpipers in the roost at Aber to start then up to Ynyslas. Single Turnstone and Great Crested Grebe on the falling tide, plus about 55 Curlews.  A long line of ca400 Oystercatchers flew across the estuary to the pillbox area.
A nice little collection on the sea opposite the golf clubhouse comprised three Shoveler, two Velvet Scoter, a Great Crested Grebe and an all-male raft of Common Scoter which were so close inshore they were almost on the beach.
