A journey north

Sorry for the silence but been having a few IT problems.



Manx Shearwaters

We went north yesterday in the hope of seeing the shearwater feeding frenzy around Borth.  No luck but plenty of Manx Shearwaters heading south and also a few Gannets.  The weather was lousy wih light rain and poor visibilty.



Green Sadpiper

We moved on to Ynyshir where the weather was a bit kinder and we took a short walk after a picnic lunch.  Green Sandpiper, 3 Little Egrets and one of the local Ospreys cheered us up.  Two Snow Geese of dubious origins were with the Canada Geese.

We stopped off again at Borth but still damp and fewer birds than before.
