Castlemartin Dotterel

 


Late morning I had a look at St Govan's for the Buff Breasted Sandpipers reported seen yesterday. No luck but some nice compensation in the form of a juv Dotterel with 3 Golden Plover near Buckspool Down on the Castlemartin Range footpath west of St Govan's - SR 95655 93446. It seemed quite happy keeping the Plovers company.

In the same area 1 Kestrel, 2 Chough, 12 Wheatears with 17 on the walk from St Govan's in all. Also 2 White Wags, 3 Stonechats perhaps 20 Meadow Pipits.

Early afternoon I had a look to the east of the St Govan's car park and saw 21 Chough, 3 Wheatears, and, in the small valley at Trevallen Downs, 4 Stonechats and a Spotted Flycatcher.
