Castlemartin Corse

Counting roughly on screen in tens, 1600-ish golden plover in this flock? Swirling masses over the fields at Gupton, with lesser numbers of lapwing in the second picture of goldies on the ground. Plenty of snipe in the fen meadow (where were they the other day?), marsh harrier, water rail and 3 Cetti's singing. But as Richard C observed recently not a lot of small birds.
