A great morning's birding began at Broad Haven, with a look at the flock of maybe 100
Common Scoters just beyond the north end of the beach. Two L
ong-tailed Ducks were again present with them today, and a probable
Black-throated Diver was slightly further out. There were also two
Purple Sandpipers on Lion Rock.
After that, I went on to Plumstone Mountain for my third attempt this year to locate the
Great Grey Shrike. The bird was moving round quite a bit, but was broadly in the same area as reported on Sunday. This record shot of the Shrike hovering was the best that I could manage.
