Marloes Peninsula

Numbers of White wagtail (25 and 30 in fields near West Hook and behind Lockley Lodge and another 20 near the mere). 6 Wheatear by entrance to West Hook. Plenty of Linnets with flock of 50 opposite NT car park, Martins Haven. Chiffchaffs and Willow warblers all along my walk, with 2 Blackcap in Sashs garden. The female Merlin dashing through the fields must have been spoilt for choice tonight. Dozen Swallows among 40 martins feeding up high over mere. 26 pr Teal seemed a good number, 5pr Shoveler plus 2 male, pr Shelduck plus a male (with the 2 males squabbling and one being driven off) and single male Wigeon. Marsh harrier recorded in Britton Hide logbook today and earlier in week.
