More egrets at Ynys-hir

 Following on from Bob Relph's report of egrets at Ynyshir, I noted at least 12 Great Whites and over 10 Little Egrets on the river and saltmarsh near Doman Las at mid afternoon yesterday before the thunderstorms arrived. Also around were good numbers of teal, a few gadwall and solitary curlew and dunlin

P.S.
I was on the 9.29 train out of Aberystwyth on Wednesday and from the train reaching the Dyfi estuary until  Glandyfi I counted at ;east 40 egrets of both species.  Tide was well in but still some saltmarsh exposed.
