Dale and Marloes Mere

Brief look from driveway at Gann: 4 Black-tailed godwits. Airfield: female sparrowhawk sat on fencepost, flock of goldfinch on thistle heads, a couple of very small pools of water with 2 dunlin in it. Marloes Mere: 8pm met up with Derek and bumped into Dave just coming away. 3 Green Sandpipers and 3 lapwing got up from BW gate. 2 redshank with the Green sandpipers out from Britton Hide. 8 snipe did a fly around as did 2 dunlin. Black-tailed godwit flying over. Glossy and 2 Green Sandpipers by gate just before 9pm. 3 herons looking to drop in but continued eastwards, they looked dark and keeled chested but I was looking straight into setting sun, whilst trying to pick them up from YHA I could see a couple of large rafts of shearwaters out from Marloes Sands.
