Some colour rings at Llanon

 I walked the coast path from Llanrhystud and Llanon. Not much happening, except a smart White Wagtail, 5 Goosanders, 10 Canada Geese. I did pick up a few colour rings though. I had Med Gulls from France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany, including one known to winter in Portugal. Also an Irish ringed Sandwich Tern, still awaiting a reply on that one. A few locally ringed Curlew and Oystercatchers. Two Lapwing in the fields too. Decent numbers of Turnstones and Ringed Plover, only one or two Dunlin.
