One American Golden Plover was still on the beach with c.300 European Golden Plovers at the point between Llanrhystud and Llansantffraid this afternoon. Also a late Whimbrel, a Red-throated Diver close inshore, still showing its red throat against an otherwise white neck, and a female Merlin. Good to meet up with Arfon, who'd been scanning the Med gulls at Llansantffraed for colour rings.
