Ynyslas

 It was good to see a flock of over 100 golden pover flying over North Point at Ynyslas this morning. 

Elsewhere, besides the regulars, there were at least four grey plover on the saltmarsh along with several egrets,  couple of greenshank and a grey heron.   Back at Ynyslas Turn, a late wheatear flew in front of the car.

Ynyslas

An enjoyable tramp around Ynyslas this morning, before the rain started in earnest. At the mouth of the Leri there were three Greenshanks, two Great Egrets, 15 Pintail, and a Snipe over. At the point, 7 Grey Plover, 1 Knot, 1 Ringed Plover and 28 Dunlin. In the willows, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker. On my way back past the tern posts, a Pale-bellied Brent Goose was with the Wigeon.

Yesterday there was an altercation between a Goshawk and a Buzzard over Llanbadarn, much to the alarm of the Herring Gulls.

Quick visits in the Teifi valley

 I saw a total of 4 Great Egrets earlier; at Pont Einon, Ystrad Caron and two at Pont Gogoyan. There was also a Green Sandpiper at the latter, close to the bridge.
