Castlemartin, Angle

Rather breezy at Castlemartin Corse this morning and the wind seemed to be keeping the Golden Plover and Lapwings on the move with some nice swirling flocks over the reedbed and fields - c750 Golden Plover and c.600 Lapwing. A Female type Marsh Harrier put in a brief appearance over the reedbed but otherwise pretty quiet - no wildfowl at all on the extensive water in front of the reeds.

At Angle Harbour around midday there was a good number of 240 Black Tailed Godwits together with 40 Knot, 28 Redshank, 60 Dunlin  and 20 Ringed Plover. Towards the Lodge there were 30+ Shelduck, 12 Wigeon, 5 Pintail and a Greenshank.
