Apologies for the delayed posting. I visited Castlemartin Corse yesterday morning and was was pleased to see a nice selection of wildfowl on the extensive floods. Starting at the upper section, viewing from the footpath past the church: 8 Greylag Geese, 207 Wigeon, 71 Shoveler, 12 Pintail and 13 Gadwall. Plus over 1000 Lapwing, 250 Golden Plover and singles of Dunlin, Redshank and Curlew. The highlight was a smart male Green-winged Teal with a small teal flock on the south side of the Corse.
The 8 Whooper Swans were still present although were distant and obscured behind reeds. A Marsh Harrier made several appearences as well. Later on from the hide there wasn't much on show except for 80+ Teal and a single Shoveler.

I made a quick stop at Kilpaison for the rising tide. A small group of Redshank on the shore with 13 Brent Geese and offshore 16 Great Crested Grebe, a Slavonian Grebe, 2 Great Northern Diver and a Red-throated Diver.
