A dolphin watch at Borth yesterday was enlivened by a small party of five juvenile herons that appeared over the sea from the Aberystwyth direction. They spiralled about for a while (very raptor-like!) before trying to land on rocks occupied by cormorants, great black-backed gulls and oystercatchers. They got quickly seen off before settling on easier rocky perches nearby.
Few seabirds moving around but a couple of noisy chough were in the
area.....and a small pod of dolphins to keep the visitors happy!
