An early start at Ynyslas by the tern posts, where on an ebb tide were 185 Dunlin, 15 Ringed Plovers and 12 Sanderling. Next were 11 Whimbrel.on Ynys Tachwedd, with another on the reefs off Borth lifeboat Station, along with two Turnstones, one in full.summer plumage. Three Lesser- Black-backed Gulls on the beach there.
Offshore, seven Sandwich Terns and my first close manxies of the year. A light passage of Swallows was in progress, ca25 to 30 in total.
