Purps and 2nd Black Redstart

 I was delighted enough to see the female Black Redstart on the Old College early yesterday.   What I didn't expect was that there was a male in the harbour.

There were also two Purple Sandpipers in the roost on the sea wall.

Very large flocks of Golden Plover and Lapwing on the fields.  Large numbers of Wigeon and Shelduck witha few Pintail sprinkled in on the estuary.

  The Black Redstart showed very well this morning on the Old College at Aberystwyth, favouring the southern end of the building and the guttering above the mosaics. View from the church car park.
