Marsh Harrier, probably a juvenile, made a brief circuit of Marloes Mere putting up just about everything around. This revealed about 200 ducks, mostly Mallard and Teal, with some Wigeon and Shovelers, but nothing more exotic and no waders at all. It also encouraged the 500ish Herring Gulls to take to the air briefly before returning to their favourite field just south-east of Trehill Farm. There seemed to be a couple of notably darker Herring Gulls as well as a couple of Lesser Black Back Gulls in the flock today, but no Greater Black Back Gulls.
