The Gann etc

 From Ian Smith - The Gann 11:10-12:25 SSE Strong Gale -1Whimbrel on Lagoon.  No sight of my Calidris flock in whole bay.  Assume they shelter out of such winds on Dale headland rocks or do they push off into a sheltered bay in the East of the Haven (?)

Goodwick Flagpoles car park 13:30-14:00 Full Gale - 10 max  Herring Gulls
Parrog Sailing Club 15:00-15:30 Strong wind - Wader flock with 18 each of both Dunlin and Ringed Plover plus 15 Sanderling with an amazing assortment of plumages and 2 pairs of Shelduck.

Iron Bridge at Pen-y-Bont 15:40-15:50 - Another Shelduck pairing; 48 mostly adult Herring Gulls; 4 adult and 4 x 2nd/3rd Calendar year GB-b's and 4 adult LB-b's.
