A walk to the pill box from the railway crossing at the Leri
produced very close views of the female king eider, sitting on the east bank of
the Leri, smiling away. Two greenshank were at the tideline, with good numbers
of redshank, dunlin and curlew. 30+ pintail out in the estuary, with several
hundred wigeon.
A short walk in the opposite direction to Glandwr revealed two ringtail hen harriers, one on a post
at the edge of the first field and one over, 10+ snipe and 4 goosander on the
Leri. On the sea were c. 20 common scoter and 2 great crested grebe. No divers
though.
