Castlemartin Corse

WEBS with Caroline Pickett (Rob L unable to join us). Poor visibility through the drizzle, the going underfoot indescribable. Do not think of going alone, a serious risk of getting stuck. 

Good numbers of teal, shoveler, mallard, lapwing and golden plover. 75 snipe were on the low side and were mostly over the reedbed, not in the fen meadow. Buzzard and kestrel the only raptors. A 3-heron day, with grey, little egret and the GWE, which had relocated several hundred metres upstream, on West-Court Farm land.
