Ynyslas - Scaup and vismig

Three Scaup (two 1st-winter drakes and a 1st-winter female, I think) were feeding close in off the brickhouse this morning. A fantastic movement of Jackdaws was evident with 2102 heading south. Also, a ringtail Hen Harrier drifted south early morning.

Moving north were 48 Brambling, 260 Chaffinch and 39 Siskin. 28 Blue Tits flew north over the estuary along with 3 Great Tits and 2 Coal Tits. Only my second ever sighting of Coal Tit at Ynyslas.
