Marloes-Deer Park

Hot on Pauls and Dereks heels, the godwits were still just beyond the gate, they did a little fly around and dropped higher up the bank, nice close-up views. 6 wheatear (4m,2f) on coast path towards Martins Haven, no sign of any on the Deer Park. Pair stonechat by lookout female carrying food and male agitated. Whilst watching pod of porpoise off Wooltack, a female merlin shot past. Later at the Mere, 2 Sand martins, male kestrel and 6 chiffchaff flying in front of me along the track. Quick look at the Gann - another merlin (3rd sighting today) and a female sparrowhawk upsetting 2 buzzards.
