Birds in unusual places _ Ospreys and Gannets

 On two occasions over the past few days an osprey has been seen flying low over Talybont with a fish in its talons. On Sunday a bird seemed to be heading towards the Estuary from the rough direction of Pendam and the upland lakes. This morning a bird was seen going the other way!

Early yesterday I was in Aberdyfi where there were twenty or more gannets diving close in by the RNLI station and also about half a mile up the Estuary. They were accompanied by a hundred or so gull spp. Like Russell commented there are seabirds everywhere Borth/Ynyslas way all of a sudden!
