'A visit to the beach'

 Last Friday 18th November saw me make a visit to Aberavon Beach where in the past I've been lucky enough to see and photograph Great Northern Diver and Snow Bunting over the years.

A walk up the River Afan failed to turn up a GND and a walk along the beach almost as far as the River Neath in search of a Snow Bunting was similarly unproductive.

I had to be content with a single Purple Sandpiper and three Turnstones on the 'Jackstones Pier' which were very confiding and I obtained some images that I was really pleased with.

There may have been additional birds of each species present but they are not easy to find amongst the concrete 'jackstones' which act as a breakwater........
