Martinshaven & the Gann

A constant stream of Swallows coming in across the Deer Park all day, and flying firmly due East: it really felt like Ireland is emptying of the birds. In the bushes all along the road back to Marloes clusters of Chiffchaffs. And several large flocks of finches on the Trehill Farm fields and by the Youth Hostel.

At the Gann this afternoon we saw 2 Kingfishers, 4 Little Egrets and the same number of Dabchicks, plus a distant high tide roost of Redshank. One Wheatear on the sae wall.
