5 pairs of stonechat this morning on a walk from Morfa Bychan to Tanybwlch though little else of note. After a text from a member of staff at RSPB Ynys-hir I legged it hot foot to the Ynys Feurig hide and luckily the reported avocet was still there at 1700hrs. However, after watching it preen and bathe for 5 minutes I got distracted by a flock of alba wagtails and when I finished scoping them the avocet had disappeared.
