Castlemartin Corse

The female marsh harrier was hunting, head into the wind, for the 45 minutes I watched her, though I didn't see her catch anything. Otherwise quiet, a few mallard, teal heard only. A record 7 coot, with some serious coot-on-coot aggro. Just 12 lapwing, and an occasional snipe. 3 Cetti's. At the inland end, gulls (70 LBB, 120 herring, 3 GBB), but no ducks or waders. 16  greylags across the flooded fields, 3 little egrets.
