This was all at low tide. Lots of exposed mud but lots of channels and high mud banks which can easily hide the Yellowlegs. So it's not easy to work the area when looking for it. And we were about to give up.
Plenty of Redshank and 4 Greenshank to check through. But the Yellowlegs is more delicate, with a long rear end, fossicks about very busily and seems to prefer its own company. Oh! And those long yellow legs! Perseverance today may lead to reward. Don't be afraid to put in the work and bring a scope. The coastal path along the shore extends from the village to the
estuary. Edward's Pill is accessed through Llangwm itself on the north side. At Black Tar there is a small carpark for about 5 cars. You'll see the bench on the way down. In Guildford on the south side, it's probably best not to park in the village, but continue East until you reach a small layby with a couple of parking spaces, then walk to the estuary, turn left and walk back up the pill towards the village. You have now all the information we can supply... (Check the map for reference.) Very best of luck!
