The Glaucous Gull found early yesterday on the reserve was on the river in town today, no doubt wandering around the estuary. At least 1 Med Gull around the Teifi.

The bird yesterday, a photo to show the size ...by Tommy Evans
Not a large Glaucous Gull, likely a small female.
The Firecrest was still present yesterday in Poppit Wood, but the Poppit Black Redstart has become more elusive now 2020 !
Tommy Evans found this Black Redstart at Ceibwr today, clearly different to the bird there during the week...
The Teifi wintering Common Sandpiper was with the Glaucous Gull today, usually the bird is on the riverside somewhere between St. Dogmael's Quay and town.
At least 1 Greylag Goose with c2/300 Canada Geese, though all c100 Barnacle Geese are missing, they have wandered away from the Teifi / Cardigan Island...!
The Gadwall is still on the river with 2-10 Goosanders, though the 2 Goldeneye disappear for spells.
Two Black-tailed Godwits are on the reserve, 3 Bar-tailed Godwits are in the main estuary often with the 2 Greenshank and the flock of c50 Redshank.
There are c200 Wigeon mainly in the estuary along with the Lapwing flock which varies with the tide c300 - 500 +.
Four Turnstone are sticking to the inside of Patch / railings often with the small wader flock, c20 Ringed Plover and c50 Dunlin.
