Rare geese

 Three tundra Bean Geese and eight Russian White-fronted Geese on field by the River Teifi up the road before Derlwyn, south of Tregaron.

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.

Route 26

 6 Goosanders were on Penbryn pool early afternoon. The pool, which lies between Llangrannog and Aberporth at 295515, is perhaps overlooked a bit, I'm not sure. I was looking across from near Dyffryn Bern caravan park.

Otter

 There was an Otter in the harbour yesterday swimming around the boats.   There were also 4 Purple Sandpipers on the sea wall.

Route 25

 No mail today for the house in Capel Dewi (Llandysul) with the Marsh Tits, however, I did see a GW Egret in some flood water by the Teifi about a couple of miles south of the village.

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.
