Last night 4 Sandwich Terns, 2 adult and 2 colour-ringed juvs, and a 1st year Lesser Black-backed Gull likely colour-ringed on Flatholm in the Bristol Channel. Also 4 Med Gulls, 1 adult and three 1st year birds.
Godwits galore by the usual Teifi counts.
This morning's count just in as I write from Gary Reynolds - 32 Black-tailed Godwits and 15 Bar-tailed Godwits with the usual Curlew, Oystercatchers and 5 Redshank.
A couple of photos of Bar-tailed Godwits and Black-tailed Godwits from Chris Jones taken a couple of days ago.
Wigeon are arriving in small flocks, 3 were watched to arrive yesterday on a sea-watch - the total now 27 in the estuary. Small waders are scarce, and after a couple of days with apparently no small waders c20 stopped off to bathe yesterday.
