Castlemartin Corse

After a quiet week or two the Corse is bursting into life with whitethroats, sedge warblers (I didn't manage to pick out any reed warblers early this morning) and a grasshopper warbler (on the north side, heard from near Starman's Hall). At least 10 wheatears were moving through the site, perching on fenceposts. 4 singing Cetti's, 3 of them in patches of bramble 50-75 metres S of the reedbed. A pair of greylags flying about, water rail heard, lots of reed buntings....
