Wader migration is well under way.
Harry Pepper did well on Saturday at Llansantfraed with 11 Ringed Plovers, 10 Dunlin, 3 Sanderling, 42 Curlew, 12 Whimbrel, 4 Redshank, 18 Turnstones and 7 Med Gulls plus 44 on the meadows at Llanon.
That encouraged me to visit the coast there this afternoon, starting at Llanon: 3 Common Sandpipers and 4 Med Gulls.
At nearby Llansantfraed: 5 Ringed Plovers, 5 Dunlin, 2 Whimbrel, 12 Turnstones, 4 Common Sandpipers and 7 Med Gulls.
A little further north at Llanrhystud on the flooded field just south of the beach car park: 12 Med Gulls and 12 Black-tailed Godwits, one with colour rings.
