Sorry but just got back to Pembs so some belated bits and pieces:-
Thursday 10th December
Kilpaison - 16 Barwit, c.300 Dunlin, a Sanderling, a Knot, 95 Curlew, 16 LB Brents, 98 Wigeon and a grebe at max bino distance but looked very like Black necked on shape and general colour.
at Freshwater West - over 700 cattle in the coastal fields plus c.1500 Lapwing with another 300 in the top field above Gupton so total c.1800. A small flock of Golden Plover briefly and some distant small finch flocks. I spent most of the time looking at the amazing numbers of cattle!!!!
Today - 14th at Kilpaison - loads of Blackbrids and Song Thrushes in the fields and the dominant hedge bird was probably Bullfinch. striking how many there are in this area. just 12 Brents on the mud but the tide was way way out.
