Cattle Egret

flew in just as I arrived, at the field with the cattle in, above & behind the chapel, where it landed in one of the dead trees in the graveyard. It did appear to come in high, as opposed to flying up from the pill. Reading Clives` comments, it too has quite a noticeable apricot forhead. The time was about 3:15pm.
First light this morning at Marloes, good numbers of Starlings, a large flock of some 2500, with smaller groups flying in, c25 Snipe seeming somewhat on edge flying above the YHA - Steves LEO perhaps?
This evening at the Gann, 18 Brent, all appeared to be" lights." c 18 Ringed plover, 3 Grey plover.
