Castlemartin Corse

Went to Castlemartin Corse for a short while this afternoon. 

The highlight today were 5 Greater Scaup which for most of my visit were long way off. They did graciously put a flyby in as they headed up the corse as the light faded!

The Marsh Harrier did appear a couple of times while I was there on the far side of the corse. A couple of redwing were in the hedgeline on my walk down and for the second time recently I have seen a couple of greenfinches from the hide.

I wish there had been better lighting for the evening gathering of the starlings. Enjoyed watching a murmeration for 5-10 mins before they finally settled on power lines and ground. I did not attempt to count them!
