Castlemartin Coast

 At Stack Rocks this morning 400+ Razorbills on the sea close in around the stacks and on the stacks themselves c.30 Razorbills in pairs with a smaller number of Guillemots.

On a walk of 2 miles or so towards St Govan’s c.250 Golden Plover  were swirling around over the range. A Merlin was seen briefly and 15 Chough - a loose group of 9, a pair and 4 soaring together overhead.

Migrants were a little thin on the ground with just 1 Sand Martin, 2 Swallows and 10 Wheatears.

Early afternoon at Broadhaven South a dozen or so Swallows drifted past over a couple of hours in singles with a lone Sand Martin. Quiet in the valley behind the beach with a couple of Blackcaps and 5 Chiffchaffs.
