North Ceredigion this morning.
The Dyfi point was quieter than I'd hoped. Saying that Ringed Plover were
numerous and well distributed over the whole area. 20 Dunlin flew passed and two
Swallows were present. Heard Sandwich Terns a couple of times but no
sightings.
The golf course opposite Ynys Tachwedd held Starlings, Linnets, Rock Pipit
and Pied Wagtail. All four species were into double figures.
Two Greenshank and a Little Egret were on the Ler i(seen from the
footbridge). At the mouth of the Leri were 9 Dunlin, 7 Ringed Plover, 5 Curlew
and another 2 Little Egret. Slightly further out were 27 roosting Curlew
Sandpiper.
Later at the Glandyfi lay by were 4 House Martin hawking overhead, 2
female Goldeneye, 2 female Red Breasted Merganser, 1 Little Egret and a total
surprise a female Common Eider.
Finally at Nanteos lake the Gadwall was still present and 5 female
Wigeon.
