Dale & Newgale Marsh

Didn't quite manage a shot of the Barn Owl - but terrific close views all the same.  At the Gann at least 17 Mediterranean Gulls roosting on the mud at low tide amongst a modest sized gathering of gulls.  Earlier at Newgale Marsh, a ringtail Hen Harrier hunting distantly, and a female Pintail amongst 200+ Teal and 30+ Mallard on the river.  Around 70 Common Scoter offshore in small groups, most quite close in amongst the surf.
