Dale and Marloes

Gann; Plenty of water in the pools. 11 snipe flying around. Dale airfield: c300 lapwing, flock of chaffinch, linnet and skylark, with a scattering of thrushes (song and redwing). Highlight was a hen harrier (ringtail) flicking up and down the banks and lines of gorse. And a fine Peregrine at West Dale. Blackcap on the ivy on the road down. Marloes Mere - Caught up with the Ring-necked duck, what a little cracker (YouTube video), and the Glossy Ibis dropped in at 4.30pm before melting into the rushes.
