Dale & Marloes

A nice walk from Marloes Mere to Martin's Haven and back.  A Chiffchaff in the willows from the Britton Hide, ducks included 120+ Teal, 7 Shoveler, 7 Wigeon & 2 Gadwall.  On the coast south of Martin's Haven a Woodcock flushed.  A look around the gardens and trees in Dale village didn't reveal the hoped for American passerine.  Onto the Gann where a Wheatear on the rotting seaweed on the beach was quite late, on the pools 6 Little Grebe, a Greenshank, 2 Little Egret & 4 Redshank.
