This afternoon, there were at least 19 whimbrels at Aberarth on the spit looking back to Llanon and Llanrhystud. Earlier we had seen 4 ringed plover with Persil white breasts at Llanrhystyd and 5 more at Llanon. It was fairly windy and I think everything else of note was hiding, from us at least!
Last Friday we visited Gronant on the North Wales coast where 110 pairs of Little Terns have bred successfully. Sandwich terns and Dunlin as well, and lots of linnets. Saturday we went to the terns at Cemlyn Bay and did a boat trip around Puffin Island where we saw a pair of Black Guillemots and the last of the puffins. And bumped into a colleague in the excellent ice cream parlour at Beaumaris.
