Ynyslas (again)

Highlights at the wader roost this morning was a curlew sandpiper, 4 sanderling and a turnstone. Off-shore around 600 kittiwakes and 100 sandwich terns were feeding with the occasional manx shearwater and red-throate4de diver popping into the feeding throng. Three arctic skuas ( two adult 1 juv) harried the flock for ten minutes or so before heading south. Still lots of gannets and masses of auks, the majority seem to be guillemots.
