Not a bird to be seen on Kilpaison Beach midday though not surprising with the gale howling in there. On the way back up to the main road I was treated to a superb adult male Merlin as it hacked past low over the fields.
At Freshwater West it was, again, spectacularly windy but I managed a shot of one of 15 Grey Plovers on the beach - the first I have seen there this winter. All facing NW into the wind.
At Bosherston 17 Goosanders.
