Had a sweep of St Brides Bay this morning from Little Haven in the south to Newgale in the north. Highlight was a Red-necked Grebe off the point at Little Haven, which drifted south to Goultrop Roads and was seen there later by David Ord. Also off Little Haven 2 Great Northern Divers, 2 Red-throated Divers (including one in full breeding plumage), a Great-crested Grebe and 8 Common Scoter.
At Broad Haven there were 6 Purple Sandpipers roosting on Emmet Rock at the north end, with a single Red-throated Diver and a single Common Scoter offshore.
After that I saw very little, partly due to the visibility, but not a single further scoter in the bay. Quite a change from the several hundred that used to winter here.
