Little Ringed Plover at Llanon

A juvenile on the ploughed field behind the beach car park by Plas Morfa this morning.  A little further south a Common Sandpiper on the beach and 110 Med Gulls on the sea.  A Swift flew south offshore.
Earlier, on the beach at Llansantffraed were 34 Oystercatchers, four Turnstones, two each of Curlew and Whimbrel and a Redshank.
I had started at Llanrhystud, where there were 11 Mallards on the shingle ridge and 112 Manx Shearwaters went north during a 15 min count.
