Ynys-hir yesterday

 Birdwise the highlight was probably a group of ten ruff below the Ynys Feurig hide, which I overlooked for some time amongst all the redshank.  Singing chiffchaffs and a blackcap.    It was glorious sitting in the sun outside the visitor centre with a cup of coffee,  made even better by the sight of several brimstone butterflies.   Also seen a common sand below the Domen Las hide and several sightings of a "cream crown " marsh harrier,  probably more than one, the last of which was as it circled higher and higher over the Saltmarsh and drifted to wards the coast.
