Ynys-hir today

A crisp spring day has brought a spate of good sightings. Highlight has to be the first sand martins of the year, two late on over the Marian Mawr pools. Other good, but more predictable sightings include two hen harriers, great egret and 24 Greenland white-fronted geese.
 Lesser-spotted woodpeckers were not seen today, which is strange as they have been calling regularly over the past week in the vicinity of the Ynys-hir hide. The Saltings hide is particularly good at the moment with great views of displaying lapwings and redshanks.
