Drew a blank this morning at Llanrhystud regarding Yellow Wagtails but nice to
see Andre and Harry. Also met Marc Hughes for the first time and he gave me a
tip off about Whimbrels and Bar-tailed Godwits at Llansantffraid so off I went.
Unfortunately I found one dog walker and no birds at the river mouth, but walked
north a bit along the shingle and found a party of 17 Whimbrel and one
Bar-tailed Godwit. Thanks Marc.

Note. I was talking to a friend of mine recently and he remarked that at times the blog had seemed to adopt an anti-dog stance. This is not the intention; in fact some of our regular readers and contributors are dog owners and often combine birding and dog walking.
