Windswept Borth and evening at Ynyslas
Yesterday afternoon at about 4pm pleased to bump into a juvenile Ruff and Little
stint on the windswept wases of Borth beach. Had great views of them feeding
high up the beach where the open sand gives way to shingle.
Earliet had a brief view of a diver, probably RT, but it vanished so
remained unconfirmed.
At Ynyslas in the evening, there was a flock of 29 Brent geese off the
Beach and a group of 5 Sanderling along the tide line.
There were about 200 Oystercatchers on a spit to the north of the bay, and
the Brent Geese joined them later. Very few other waders in evidence, apart from
3 Dunlin and 5 Knot, presumably due to tide not being high enough by the time
the light faded.
A pair of Stonechats on the dunes was a nice addition to the day
list.
