Teifi WeBS count

Yesterday's Wetland Bird Survey counts were down as expected for March, particularly Wigeon and Teal. The wintering single Knot and Grey Plover turned up to be counted along with just 4 Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin and 2 Turnstone. 7 Goldeneye have spent the winter above the bypass bridge.
Having seen Cormorants already back on their nests it is no surprise that only 2 were around the estuary.
It was good to see this one very close up to be able to enjoy its rather nice plumage and bright face pattern.
