Blustery bits and pieces
Yesterday a delayed WeBS count of the Daugleddau produced in excess of 1500 golden plovers - all flying high over the Picton Point/Landshipping Quay area. Teal numbers there were over 100 but there were only a handful of wigeon present (mostly now in pairs).
A pair of Marsh Tits kept a close eye on us at the Quay area. We were not too far away from suitable nesting habitat they were probably prospecting.
Later in the day we noted that in excess of 100 Pied Wagtails were still making use of their Haverfordwest (Withybush) roost. There were probably considerably more than this, but we didn’t have time to watch them all arrive.
