Ynyshir

No sign of the Glossy Ibis today, but the Spotted Crake was doing its usual perambulations along the back of Ynys Edwin pool this afternoon: nice to see again.  (It hasn't been reported on the blog for a couple of weeks now; has no-one seen it recently - or  no-one been to look?)

Also the Ruff still on Breakwater fields, along with 3 Greenshank and good numbers of eclipse Wigeon and Teal. The new Ynys Feurig hide really does provide a grandstand view (and handy shelter from the rain!) Good to see the Barnacle Geese back - 200+ scattered across the salt-marsh.
