American Wigeon - Teifi Estuary

An American Wigeon found and photographed by David Clarke yesterday at Gwbert was present again this morning. (Photos on Ceredigion Birds and Wildlife Facebook)

It was just upstream of the boat club slipway with 15 Eurasian Wigeon at 8am then flew across the estuary to the salt marsh by the Teifi Waterside Hotel.

Goshawk

 A male Goshawk gave some stunning views as it tried,  (unsuccessfuly) to catch Lapwing and Teal outside the Ynys Feurig hide.  Other highlights from Ynys-hir today were multiple Marsh Harriers about, 7 Goldeneye  2 males,b5 females outside Domen Las and oddly enough,  a pair of Stock Doves.

Spring on its way?

 My first skylark singing of the year,  and a female marsh harrier, near the Glandwr pools this morning.

Out of bounds

 Started at Ty Gwyn pools hoping to get a better view from somewhere by circumnavigating the site by driving round various lanes but didn't find such a spot. No sign of any geese unfortunately but huge flocks of plovers; 1000 Golden Plovers and 1300 Lapwings very approx.

On my way home I called in at Celtic Lakes, Temple Bar. By driving off the main road and a short way into the entrance track I could get a reasonable view of the two small pools where the Goosanders tend to congregate but still be 400 yards from the site office in case they decided to chase me off ; 18 Goosanders were present.

Tanybwlch

 Eight Ringed Plovers and a Great Crested Grebe at Tanybwlch today .

Pant pool

 The male Pochard plus 3 Great Egrets were at the pool this morning. Actually 4 Egrets present but one was scrunched up in a conifer and I couldn't identify it. A very close encounter with a pair of Willow Tits at Pont Einon earlier.

Llanfair Clydogau

 A Great Egret was very near to the bridge as we drove over a few minutes ago.
