Llanon 21 June (9-10.00 am)

Interesting combination of birds on the field next to the hotel in Llanon this morning.

I counted about 30 Med gulls (mixture of adults and immatures) - numbers seem to be building up over last few weeeks, plus 2 Sandwich terns in field, in amongst black-headed, herring and a few lesser black backed. Also one kite was perched on fence.

A month or two ago this field was dominated by common gulls - so seems to go in gull phases! And I guess this must be one of best fields for birds in Ceredigion as it's the one of the fields where lapland buntings were seen last winter.
