Garganey, Marloes Mere

 

Drake Garganey at the mere this evening, first for a good while and always nice to see. 30-40 Whimbrel in scattered groups in the coastal fields. Dunlin flying around the mere, some promising little bits of bank showing as levels drop a little. 5pr and 10m Shoveler. 2pr and 2m Teal. Drake Wigeon. Just a single Tufted duck tonight. Coot with 2 very small chicks. 10 Wheatear. Very few warblers on the circuit, 2 Blackcap, single Whitethroat plus a Goldcrest in Martins Haven.
