goose update

 The White Fronted Geese were still present this morning but I couldn't see the Bean Geese though I was at the edge of my visibility range. Later, at Ty Gwyn pools a flock of 24 geese flew over my head that I could not identify and a few minutes later I located 8 White fronted Geese in a field west of the pools, so perhaps more to discover there. Also at the pools, huge flocks of plovers still present and a Goshawk too. On my way there; nothing at Llyn Fanod, Kestrel at Penuwch. Prior to all  this; 2 GW Egrets at Pont Gogoyan and another at Pant pool.

These Ceredigion rarities were found by Arfon Williams earlier today.

Tanybwlch

 Today there was a  small flock of Ringed Plovers and two Great Crested Grebes out to sea.  There was also a partly leucistic Jackdaw in the fields.

Ynyslas in the rain

Much wetter than expected, but perhaps the silver lining was that just for a little white I had the tern posts to myself. The wader flock included 2 Greenshank, 17 Knot, 11 Grey Plover and a Turnstone. 

Perhaps for the same reason, at the Clettwr the White-fronted Geese (10) were only two fields away and the Dipper was back at the ford.
