Sightings in Pembrokeshire

From Mike Browning:
Been staying in Pembrokeshire this week and have seen the following birds.
Sunday - several both male and female Blackcaps around Middle Mill/Solva Woollen Mill.
Monday - Rock Pipit, Stonechat at Whitesands car park
Wednesday- NO Black Guillemot at Goodwick Ferry Port 😠, Bar-tailed Godwit on the sand side of Goodwick beach.  Chough with swollen foot - Dave Astin, saw it earlier this year, good numbers of Porpoise, Dolphin - both common and Risso’s.
Then onto Dowrog:-
Stonechat, Kestrel, Starlings, loads of Mipits, Magpies, Wood Pigs a flyover and calling Curlew. Then the piece de le resistance, the male Pallid and Hen Harriers, they arrived on the Southside of the Common pretty much together.  They were in view for around 2-3 minutes.  Finally a successful hunt by a determined male Merlin that eventually took a Mipit in flight.
