8.30am A hopeful look at the airfield revealed the grand total of 6 dunlin, 1 whimbrel and a snipe. Otherwise a flock of 30 meadow pipits (most I've seen for a while), 6 wheatear and a stonechat. Male kestrel hunting in the valley at West Dale. Graham, the 12 oystercatchers over Marloes Mere last night were heading south-easterly. Sometimes these apparently insignificant records go unrecorded, but appreciate these bits of info are what help build a better understanding of bird movements through the county and beyond.
