From Pam Buckle & Phil Baber: We paid our first visit to Angle yesterday, and mopped up some of the birds that have recently been reported.
Angle - Village to Angle Point. 16 Jan 22. Mid Afternoon to dusk.
In line with recent reports:
The
2 Great Northern Divers were eventually seen near each other well into
the bay on high tide near dusk. Earlier one was briefly seen in the
mouth of the bay, and it, or the other, was seen in flight a bit later
heading out to the Cleddau.
The 2 female Common Scoter were seen distantly within the bay. A group of 20 light-bellied Brent Geese were towards the point.
A Kingfisher perched in the hedge alongside the road briefly, which was bizarre.
Otherwise
6 Great-Crested Grebe. 3 Knot. 22 Blackwit. 20+ Turnstone. 90+ Dunlin.
70+ Oystercatcher. Plenty of Redshank. A few Curlew and a single
Greenshank. Plenty of Snipe delighted with some very close views out in
the open.Wigeon in abundance, but only 3 pintail in the immediate area.
Our first visit here and a huge area to cover. We will certainly be back!
Recently 1 Blackcap still present at Pembroke Mill Pond and Water Rail still calling from the reeds (3 the other evening.)
