Porthmadog Short Holiday Day 2 Tuesday 15th May 2018


A hairy bus ride from Porthmadog to Barmouth today with a more relaxing train journey back.

Some sea mist floating about early on soon lifted to give a warm sunny day.

A walk across the estuary at Barmouth crossing the railway bridge gave fantastic views – a real gem of a walk.

Birds:-

My second Red-breasted Merganser was in the river here, and a lot easier to photograph than yesterday's Porthmadog bird.

Also here, Whitethroat, Reed Bunting, Stonechat, Little Egret and a distant Red Kite.

Meadow Pipits were here with 2 large Pipits feeding along the river banking.

I could not confidently ID the Larger Pipits alas.
Possible Rock Pipit.
I'll need some time to look at the bird books!





Pipit No 1.



Pipit No 2.
