Ring ouzel at New Quay

 A ring ouzel was spotted by Josh Pedley on New Quay head on the 11th. I managed to find it and enclose a grainy record shot. The bird was still there yesterday (14th).   

The auks have been back on a transient visit and in good numbers. The female eider is still around the Carreg Walltog area. At the quarry several turnstones and 2 purple sandpipers at the harbour. Out in the bay a single great crested grebe and a few red throated divers.
