Caught-up with the dowitcher at 8.45am, in what I believe is its favoured muddy bay close to the driveway, it was feeding confidently 'stitching-away' amongst a couple of teal, kept walking out of view behind screen of grass. Also 4 lapwing roosting on the island, 60+ curlew and 6 shelduck, the female merganser in the bay with 2 Great crested grebe.
At Marloes the 4 Pink-footed geese were with the Canadas but no luck with the Ring-necked duck. 100 or so snipe being flushed as I walked down the track (it appears by a hen harrier reported by 2 visiting birders).
