Ynyslas

Nice to visit Ynyslas today (Sunday) even if only for a few hours. The King Eider had moved about 20 yards from where I last saw it in early August (in the mouth of the Leri). A Little Egret joined the Cattle Egret in the cattle field at Ynys Tachwedd fields.
There were good numbers of Lapwing, Golden Plover and Curlew on the fields as well as 10+ Song Thrushes and 2 Mistle Thrushes near the boatyard. Around Ynyslas there were 25 Snipe, 3 Knot, 5 Pintail and a Red-breasted Merganser.
