Easter Sunday

Glorious walk from Llanrhystud beach car park to Aberaeron and back (via chip shop and  Hive on the Quay icecream!). Generally quiet but highlights were a red throated diver, Med gulls in full summer plumage loafing amongst the black headeds, 3 chough, 5 redshank flying with a single turnstone, raven, kites, a lovely bright male stonechat and partner, a few kittiwake and a shag.
Top highlight though has to be a harbour porpoise - clear, repeated views of the fin and occasionally of the side of the body as it very slowly headed south - starting only 50m or so off shore (land ref. SN 48344 64359.
