Little Gulls Aberystwyth and late report from last week.

Today, 5 Little Gulls off South Beach at 2:30pm, 2ads, 1- 2nd Winter and two 1st Winters.

Sorry about this late posting but did report this to RSPB Ynys Hir last wed.
A friend and I had a Water Pipit feeding with a Rock Pipit, Meadow Pipits, Stonechats and Reed Buntings on the car park pools at Ynys Las Turn Off last Tuesday 22nd Jan. at about 10am. Afterwards, about 10:30, there was another Water Pipit feeding close to the fencing in the field alongside the track behind Leri Boatyard, this was not the same bird there were slight plumage differences, principally in the supercillium.
Having relocated to Llanrhystud and in awful weather there were three Ruff amongst all the waders in the fields. To round the day off we were in Aberystwyth at 3pm where 5 Purple Sands and a Red-throated Diver were the main attraction
