Pembroke Dock

Looking out over the Haven from the car park at the end of Fort Road in Pembroke Dock (SM955036) as the tide came in this afternoon, there were 500+ dunlin,70+ black-tailed godwit, over 30 curlew, 10+ ringed plover, c10 oystercatcher, a grey heron, 4 mallard, a little egret and a couple of redshank. There were also several hundred black-headed gulls. The poor light and distance made it difficult to establish whether there were any other small waders with the dunlin. There was a single sighting of a distant, but unidentifiable grebe over by the LNG Plant.
