Out of County

Went to Aberystwyth this afternoon as my Dad has never seen the starlings there, Got there about an hour or so early and as he headed to the pub on the pier I headed under the pier, Lots of Turnstone about and a few Oystercatcher you can get quite close if your patient enough sadly the light was terrible and then the rain came but thought I would share this any how.

    Good shot Phil, what are the numbers of Starlings like in Aber at the moment? Was thinking of taking a trip there soon.
