After a stormy day yesterday, this morning was much calmer and despite there not being a huge movement of birds, Three Red-throated Diver a few hundred Common Scoter and flocks of Golden Plover, Dunlin, Sanderling and Ringed Plover made for a decent sea watch.
A quick dash around to the information shelter with the marsh in full flood gave up Teal c50, Wigeon c10, Mallard c15, Shelduck 13 Curlew c6 plus Snipe, Redshank and distant Oystercatchers and a lone male Pintail.

Then it was off to do a radio interview for BBC Radio Wales, on the Strandline Beetle, and clean beaches. The broadcast was only about 30 seconds long and they edited out the important bit about leaving driftwood on the beach, but they did emphasise the importance of leaving large pieces of plastic/old tyres on the beach as habitat for the beetle.
Then I met up with the Wednesday gang and started the final phase of Dormouse Box construction.....
