Out west

Morning out and about with Paul G was more a case of what we didn't see. Broad Haven, min 25 Red-throated diver, plus 4 Great Northern, but only 50 Scoter (no sign of the LT ducks). St Brides was very quiet, 10 Stock dove over a stubble field was nice (no sign of either Firecrest or Black redstart). A bit more luck at Marloes where the 7 Greenland White-fronts were grazing among the Canadas just west of the mere, 10 Tufties but no sign of the Scaup or Ring-neck. 100s of Golden plover and Lapwing by the poultry sheds near Sandy Haven and 6-7 Red kites. Finished at Milford Marina with a no show from the Black redstart.
