At last, after several attempts, I found my first Red-throated Divers of the autumn on the sea at Borth; three of them, two in summer plumage.Also there, two Razorbills and ca70 Common Scoter.
Then to the tern posts at Ynyslas, where six Golden Pl.overs were over towards the Leri. Simon Cox came along with the news that he had just picked out four Curlew Sandpipers from ca300 Dunlin and a Sandwich Tern at the point. He had earlier had a Kingfisher on the Leri. As we were chatting he picked up a Sand Martin with a Swallow,
I had started off at Aberystwyth where there was very little except 16 Ringed Plovers on South Beach.On Wed I had arrived at Castle Point to find Helen had counted around 20 Ringed Plovers and two Dunlin.. The previous day she had seen a Kingfisher by Trefechan Bridge.
