Amy joined me when I went to Castlemartin Corse today. Lovely to see Richard for a while. The
Corse felt quiet today.
The Barn Owl had left a very large pellet on the post and Amy decided to dissect it,
along with a few other smaller pellets! She came up with 7 skulls. We think
they were 3 shrew and 4 vole skulls. On the shelf today, there were some freshly
stripped bones and the remaining feather attached looked to be from a snipe!
The Marsh
Harriers were flying for short periods and then landing again, either in the
reeds or in the many bushes on the Corse. At present think we observed 3 separate
individuals, however I have not reviewed my images yet! One landed on the
bank opposite the open water which was special.

distant Buzzards and a Red Kite rounds off the observed raptors.
The whooper
swan is still there with the two Mute Swans.  |

Part way
through the morning a scaup flew in. It remained at distence for the time we were there. Small number of ducks otherwise, just a
handful of mallards and a small flock of teal!  |
