Marloes & Dale catch-up

More or less back on the internet now (no thanks to BT.....).

Highlights from yesterday were a cracking pair of Hen Harriers quartering from Marloes Mere over the Trehill Farm fields towards the Deer Park. Almost certainly the same male that Rich Crossen saw: the times match well.

After the obligatory Dowitcher check, the Gann produced a Kingfisher and a single Dark-breasted Brent feeding right by Jubilee Villas.

On Dale Airfield a female Kestrel, 20+ Snipe, and a Yellowhammer in a mixed flock of passerines. No Lapland Buntings, though.
