Aberystwyth prom and Tanybwlch

On a glorious sunny morning a good scan of the sea from Castle Point revealed A Greylag Goose, a Red-throated Diver and rafts of eight and four Wigeon. Five Common Scoter flew north.
At Tanybwlch there was a male Wheatear, a Teal in the ditch and at least 25 Meadow Pipits.
A Red-throated Diver was in the bay then a party of eight Wigeon flew in and settled on the sea: presumably the same group that were earlier off Aberystwyth.
