Stone Curlew -- Ceredigion

On the coast between Llanrhystud & Llanon;-

This rare sighting was witnessed by a lucky few,( mainly from Pembs. & Clive J.), who arrived by mixed means;(car, HGV, & bus service via Strumble Head.)
The bird was last seen at c1410, but was not seen to leave the area.

Arfon W. found the bird, at the same site that also held the American Golden Plover last Autumn . By 1700 a number of waders species had also been seen,(inc. Knot, Whimbrel, Common Sandpiper) & a count of 32 Med. Gulls.

(Apart from a bird seen on a part of the Teifi now in Pembs. I believe).
This is the first record for Ceredigion since 1882.
