Aberystwyth seawatch

Slight computer problem yesterday: this is from yesterday morning.

Large numbers of gulls moving north into the strong wind were predominantly Black-headed, with Herring, Common and Kittiwake mixed in.  Many Gannets also passing; at least 150 while I was there, though difficult to count as some lingered to feed.

Odds and ends included a couple of Common Scoters, a Red-throated Diver and a Goosander. Highlight was a dark-bellied Brent Goose heading south close inshore.
