YNYSLAS and CORS FOCHNO



While we were were watching a Peregrine circling above us, by the Leri saltings, a small flock of Pink-footed Geese came flying in from the west and settled on the saltings. We thought there were 7 but could only see 6 once they were on the slat-marsh; 2 adults and 4 juvs.
Here is a distant pic. of one of the adults.





Nearby on Cors Fochno were 2 Whinchats and, to my delight, a Pectoral Sandpiper. This distant digi-scoped pic was the best I could do, but it should help to get the record accepted.
