Castlemartin Corse

After a dismal WEBS count last week I took another look to see if things were still as bad. Sure enough snipe had shot up to 2 (from 1), 4 curlew in the fields, 3 grey heron…. At least there was a female marsh harrier, a buzzard, 2 ravens, and at least 4 Cetti's warblers were singing along a 1km stretch (someone likes all that scrub). Water rail anybody's guess, maybe 6. But with no water away from the actual watercourse the place is simply not attractive to wildfowl or waders right now. Some charming long-tailed tits cheered me up.
