White-fronts at Ynys-hir

I also saw the White-fronts on the flooded field behind the Breakwater
hide today, at 2 pm, they stayed for under 5 minutes I'd estimate, as they
weren't there as I made my way to the hide, and they swiftly left and flew
down the estuary - landing somewhere near the Clettwr... Does anyone have
an explanation for these short visits? A couple in the hide also claimed
to have seen a Swallow just before my arrival.

Earlier on there was a Merlin hunting over fields Northeast of the Clettwr
with 7 Golden Plover flying there too.
