Ynys-hir waders

A text message from Russell mentioning a tempting collection of waders on Marian Mawr pools was enough to entice me up there.
Much to my amazement, I managed to find them all, though it was over an hour before a Ruff showed..  First was a lovely Black-tailed Godwit, then two Little Ringed Plovers, a Wood Sandpiper and then the Ruff (two of the three).
To cap it all, a quick look at the pool in front of the reception produced a Green Sandpiper.
