Teifi

After a Woodcock free wander pre-dawn across one of our key study sites above the Gwaun Valley and a male Eider past Mwnt....time for the Teifi.
Wigeon now c190 around the estuary mouth and a few up river with the bulk of the c80 Teal from Creek Hide. 2 Red-breasted Mergansers were feeding off  Patch and 2/3 Goosanders on the river between Priory Bridge and the river view point. High tide at the Webley this evening,  produced 97 Curlew, 67 Oystercatchers, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits, 2 Dunlin and 6 Redshank. 1 Jack Snipe at Mallard Pond and very few Starlings  came to roost this evening in the Marsh.
