Richard and
I went to do the WeBS count for Castlemartin Corse this morning. I don’t think I have
ever seen the corse as dry as it was today! 
Where I am standing would usually represent very wet feet! It is where the ducks are normally hiding out on open water!
The resultant count for WeBS was slightly sparse with the grand total of 10 Snipe, 1 Water Rail (lone call from the reeds) and 2 Grey Heron!
The raptors however made up for it, with a female Kestrel initally seen hunting over the fields to east of the hide. A male Sparrowhawk made a brief appearance. A 3+CY Female Marsh Harrier was seen on the northern side of the corse and a buzzard on a fence post.
The 3 Whinchat
were a definite highlight of the other species seen or heard.

There has been work done on the path since I visited a few weeks back which hopefully will help access going forwards. Made up ground along main track and new sleeper over one of the drainage ditches.
