Newgale

A flock of several hundred manx shearwaters was seen moving north, well offshore, around 1300 hrs; and a single ringed plover in summer plumage was on the beach feeding avidly among the holiday makers. A large female sparrowhawk flew over the A487 near Mount Farm (GR SM 826 241). We have seen a male sparrowhawk near here previously.
