We're from Sussex staying in the area for a few days. A quick look at the sea from the benches at Upper Borth around 18:45h this evening , produced a group of 4 Velvet Scoters (at least 2 of which were drakes) on the sea, also 20+ Manx Shearwaters.

I received this report on Tuesday 4th but was reluctant to post it on the blog because it is such an unusual record. Since then, Colin has sent me a convincing account of the sighting and will provide Russell with a description, so I'm happy to post it.
