Castlemartin


Very quiet on Castlemartin Corse this morning. All the Lapwings seem to have moved on and with little water left in the Corse wildfowl numbers were right down - Mallard 6, Wigeon 4, Pintail 2, Teal 10, Shoveller 19, Coot 5. Two Greylag Geese viewed from behind Castlemartin Church the only birds of note.
On the Castlemartin Ranges still a decent number of Golden Plover with one flock of 400 plus. At Stack Rocks hundreds of Guillemots on the lower ledges of the main Stack with much head bowing and courtship going on. Plenty of Guillemots on the sea too. A Raven was sitting tight on it's nest near to the Stacks.
