The Scoter flock started with 2 birds a few weeks ago and is now at 25 +/- off the low cliffs between Aberporth and Tresaith. They are remarkably faithful to this part of the Bay and form a discrete flock of several small groups.
Nearby was a Red Throated Diver.
On Tresaith beach was a Guillemot storm casualty.
The beach was strewn with large Otter shells some of which had the large rubbery protuberance (siphon) by which they access their food. They live down the shore in deep mud so these had been 'untimely ripped' from their habitat by the ferocious storm waves. Gulls and crows had an early Xmas dinner surprise.
