Gann & Marloes Mere

Late afternoon the Gann was thankfully devoid of people but with a nice selection of birds.  The Great Northern Diver remains, very close inshore initially but then moving further out as the tide fell.  A surprise was 2 Brent Geese - one pale bellied and one dark bellied!  Waders were the main interest with a total of 53 Dunlin spread across the lagoon, with 1 Sanderling & 5 Ringed Plover, also 12+ Whimbrel & a Bar-tailed Godwit.  Marloes Mere was quite quiet, but with plenty of hirundines to check through.
