Persistent cat paws in my face at 6.20am meant I was out and down to Llanrhystud earlier than usual. Hoping for some viz mig but nothing happening. However, heaps of birds present.
On the flooded field, the Ruff was still present as well as a Black-tailed Godwit and 4 Pintail. Another Black-tailed Godwit was out at the point, 11 sp of wader altogether but also 5 sp of duck. A Merlin was the first bird that I saw, on the way down to the car park, but what appeared to be a second Merlin shot past Llansantffraed church sometime later.
Many hundreds of gulls, mostly BH Gull but no fewer than 200 Med Gulls also I think. Also seen, a RT Diver and 2 Wheatears.
