Ring Ouzel Martin’s Haven

A stonking male Ring Ouzel on the Deer Park Wall at 0900 took our Garden Lockdown List to 25. It flew off onto the Trehill Farm fields. Yesterday we had added Goldfinch and Kestrel, with another 5 species, including Gannet and Hen Harrier, having been seen from the garden but not in it!

Still a trickle of Chiffchaffs and Wheatears coming through, but only ones and twos at present. But it was nice to see a pair of Wheatears inspecting a former rabbit hole on the cliff edge.

Yesterday a real treat on our evening walk was a small pod of Common Dolphins in St Bride’s Bay.
