Seawatching at Amroth this morning was made even better when a scoter came into land and revealed white secondaries, I immediately identified it as a
Velvet Scoter. Birds also in the bay included, 2
Guillemots, 10
Great Crested Grebe, 15
Cormorant, 70+
Common Scoter (most were too far out to see them clearly) and up 30
Red-throated Divers, including a few large flocks of 10 birds flying over the bay.
At the end of a family walk around Tenby I walked down to the Lifeboat Station to see if an Purple Sandpipers were on the rocks. I looked at a Cormorant which was just out in the bay and next to it was a large diver species eating a crab. On closer inspection, noting the steep forehead and large body I realised it was a
Great Northern Diver!
