I had a sizeable flock of ~50 'Commic' Terns adjacent the mouth of the
Clettwr as I passed on the train early afternoon, but didn't quite manage to
ascertain their ID! A wander along Borth beach at high tide and back along the
bank of the Leri produced 15 Whimbrels, 9 Sanderlings, 1 Greenshank, 4 Great
Skuas passing by at sea, 4 Wheatears, 1 singing Cetti's Warbler, a singing Reed
Warbler, a Whitethroat and 3 Sedge Warblers.

Interesting. I had a flock of 15-20 commic terns flying north off Aberystwyth as I arrived during the gale this morning, seen from the car. Shortly afterwards. during a short seawatch, about the same number passed, but further out to sea.
