Martin’s Haven & Marloes Mere

Still migrants trickling through: 3 Wheatear in and around the garden this morning, and a couple of Chiffchaffs.

Marloes Mere: the surprise for me later afternoon was the Shoveller outnumbering Mallard: I counted over 30 of the former, and fewer than 20 Mallard. Plus c.10 Teal (all paired up), 5 Wigeon, 3 Shelduck. And three Tufted Duck (1M, 2 F) dropped in at about 1645.

This evening, a ringtail Hen Harrier hunting along the Deer Park wall before heading off towards Skomer.
