During regular autumn netting activities at Ynyslas over the last two nights 17 sandwich terns have been caught and ringed and two ringed birds have been controlled - details will be made available in the ringing report in the Ceredigion Bird report. This morning about 100+ sandwich terns gathered near the car-park and many of them sported metal rings including one with a dutch ring (which I managed to read along with another british control).
A colour-ringed sanderling was also present in a flock of 17. At least 9 common terns and two little terns were great to see at very close range - why on earth didn't I have my camera with me!!
Last night there were 12+ Common Sandpipers on the Leri and this morning 4 Greenshank were present.
