Waders around the estuary include 50 Ringed Plover, 40 Dunlin, 15 Sanderling and 1 Redshank. A flock of 40 Oystercatcher on Poppit beach early morning were likely new arrivals.

Maybe Sanderling have had a better breeding season with several juveniles present in the flock. A single adult Sandwich Tern was in the estuary this morning and 5 adult Common Terns appeared late this evening.
Common Dolphins - more sightings this year around the Teifi than in the past 15 years. At least 60 (sixty) spent the 3 hours before dark this evening off Cemaes Head, including many females with calves.
