Been up many a creek on the haven doing saltmarsh vegetation survey over
the past week. Hand lens round the neck rather than binoculars, but
noted a few birds none the less. Great white egret on the Pembroke river
near Lambeeth. Brief view of an osprey disturbed
from a tree in Prinkly Quarry, south of west Williamston. Greenshanks,
green and common sandpipers here and there in ones and twos. 4 male
goosander up the channel by Slebech. Singing stock doves west of Monkton
and in two places near Cosheston. A group of
4 spotted flycatchers hawking from foreshore oaks north of Landshipping
on Friday. A grasshopper warbler booted from Bolboschoenus by Mullock
Bridge yesterday.
