Went for a bit of a potter around Marloes Peninsula yesterday. Excluding the mere it felt oddly quiet!
Was nice to see three Fulmar resting up in usual area they breed and Chough in usual spots on Deer park. While watching the Chough for a short while some Carrion crow came in to investigate why I was sat there. They then started flipping all the cow pats looking for grubs. Also saw a pair of Raven flying about.
On way back, at distence a small flock of Golden plover got lifted from one of Petes fields. I did not see what disturbed them.
Lots of wildfowl on the mere, always nice to spot a few Gadwall and Pintail amongst the Wigeon, Shoveller, Teal and Mallard. The usual Coot, Moorhen and Little grebe also present. Some Lapwing were still hanging out on the high points. A Grey Heron was skulking along one of the hedge edges and there were plenty of Canada Geese.
